Characterizing Linguistic Complexity in Humans and Language Models

Presenting my work on studying different metrics of linguistic complexity and how they correlate with linguistic phenomena and learned representations in neural language models

That Looks Hard: Characterizing Linguistic Complexity in Humans and Language Models

This paper investigates the relationship between two complementary perspectives in the human assessment of sentence complexity and how they are modeled in a neural language model (NLM), highlighting how linguistic information encoded in representations changes when the model learns to predict complexity.

Interpreting Neural Language Models for Linguistic Complexity Assessment

This thesis presents a model-driven study of multiple phenomena associated with linguistic complexity, and how those get encoded by neural language models' learned representations.
