A Comparative Investigation of Compositional Syntax and Semantics in DALL-E 2

2024-03-18 · Elliot Murphy, Jill de Villiers, Sofia Lucero Morales

In this study we compared how well DALL-E 2 visually represented the meaning of linguistic prompts also given to young children in comprehension tests. Sentences representing fundamental components of grammatical knowledge were selected from assessment tests used with several hundred English-speaking children aged 2-7 years for whom we had collected original item-level data. DALL-E 2 was given these prompts five times to generate 20 cartoons per item, for 9 adult judges to score. Results revealed no conditions in which DALL-E 2-generated images that matched the semantic accuracy of children, even at the youngest age (2 years). DALL-E 2 failed to assign the appropriate roles in reversible forms; it failed on negation despite an easier contrastive prompt than the children received; it often assigned the adjective to the wrong noun; it ignored implicit agents in passives. This work points to a clear absence of compositional sentence representations for DALL-E 2.

DALL-E 2 Fails to Reliably Capture Common Syntactic Processes

2022-10-23 · Evelina Leivada, Elliot Murphy, Gary Marcus

Machine intelligence is increasingly being linked to claims about sentience, language processing, and an ability to comprehend and transform natural language into a range of stimuli. We systematically analyze the ability…

The Better Your Syntax, the Better Your Semantics? Probing Pretrained Language Models for the English Comparative Correlative

2022-10-24 · Leonie Weissweiler, Valentin Hofmann, Abdullatif Köksal, Hinrich Schütze

Construction Grammar (CxG) is a paradigm from cognitive linguistics emphasising the connection between syntax and semantics. Rather than rules that operate on lexical items, it posits constructions as the central buildin…

Joint Universal Syntactic and Semantic Parsing

2021-04-12 · Elias Stengel-Eskin, Kenton Murray, Sheng Zhang, Aaron Steven White 외

While numerous attempts have been made to jointly parse syntax and semantics, high performance in one domain typically comes at the price of performance in the other. This trade-off contradicts the large body of research…

Probabilistic Programming with Densities in SlicStan: Efficient, Flexible and Deterministic

2018-11-02 · Maria I. Gorinova, Andrew D. Gordon, Charles Sutton

Stan is a probabilistic programming language that has been increasingly used for real-world scalable projects. However, to make practical inference possible, the language sacrifices some of its usability by adopting a bl…
