Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Modern deep neural networks achieve impressive performance in engineering applications that require extensive linguistic skills, such asmachine translation. This success has sparked interest in probing whether these models are inducing human-like grammatical knowledge from the raw data they are exposed to and, consequently, whether they can shed new light on longstanding debates concerning the innate structure necessary for language acquisition. In this article, we survey representative studies of the syntactic abilities of deep networks and discuss the broader implications that this work has for theoretical linguistics.
