Agentività e telicità in GilBERTo: implicazioni cognitive
The goal of this study is to investigate whether a Transformer-based neural language model infers lexical semantics and use this information for the completion of morphosyntactic patterns. The semantic properties considered are telicity (also combined with definiteness) and agentivity. Both act at the interface between semantics and morphosyntax: they are semantically determined and syntactically encoded. The tasks were submitted to both the computational model and a group of Italian native speakers. The comparison between the two groups of data allows us to investigate to what extent neural language models capture significant aspects of human semantic competence.

Interpretable dimensions support an effect of agentivity and telicity on split intransitivity
Intransitive verbs fall into two different syntactic classes, unergatives and unaccusatives. It has long been argued that verbs describing an agentive action are more likely to appear in an unergative syntax, and those d…
IntElicit: Eliciting and Assessing Contextualized Creativity via Dialogue Policy Optimization
Contextualized assessment offers high ecological validity for evaluating creativity but introduces a critical challenge: observed performance may be confounded with cognitive proficiency (domain knowledge) and agency (wi…
Classification of telicity using cross-linguistic annotation projection
This paper addresses the automatic recognition of telicity, an aspectual notion. A telic event includes a natural endpoint ({``}she walked home{''}), while an atelic event does not ({``}she walked around{''}). Recognizin…

Aspect is a linguistic concept that describes how an action, event, or state of a verb phrase is situated in time. In this paper, we explore whether different transformer models are capable of identifying aspectual featu…
