Speakers of a language generalize their knowledge of syntax in a systematic way to constructions they have never encountered before. This observation has motivated the influential position in linguistics that humans are innately endowed with syntax-specific inductive biases. The applied success of deep learning systems that are not designed with such biases invites a reconsideration of this position. In this talk, Prof. Tal Linzen, Assistant Professor of Linguistics and Data Science at NYU, will review work that uses paradigms from…
