Finite State Reasoning for Presupposition Satisfaction
Sentences with presuppositions are often treated as uninterpretable or unvalued (neither true nor false) if their presuppositions are not satisfied. However, there is an open question as to how this satisfaction is calcu…
Open-Ended Question AnsweringLLMs Struggle to Reject False Presuppositions when Misinformation Stakes are High
This paper examines how LLMs handle false presuppositions and whether certain linguistic factors influence their responses to falsely presupposed content. Presuppositions subtly introduce information as given, making the…
MisinformationAddressing surprisal deficiencies in reading time models
This study demonstrates a weakness in how n-gram and PCFG surprisal are used to predict reading times in eye-tracking data. In particular, the information conveyed by words skipped during saccades is not usually included…
Testing the Processing Hypothesis of word order variation using a probabilistic language model
This work investigates the application of a measure of surprisal to modeling a grammatical variation phenomenon between near-synonymous constructions. We investigate a particular variation phenomenon, word order variatio…
Language ModelingLanguage Modellingsurprisal is Not a Theory
Surprisal Theory is often characterized as a computational-level explanation per (Marr, 1982). We argue in this work that, even though a computational level narrative has been used to support "representation-agnostic res…
