  1. Perturbed Masking: Parameter-free Probing for Analyzing and Interpreting BERT (2020 · 245 citations)
    Standard probing classifiers add trainable parameters on top of a pre-trained model. This makes it unclear whether linguistic knowledge comes from the model or is learned by the probe itself. Wu et al. propose Perturbed Masking, a probing method with no parameters and no supervision. It estimates how much one word…
  2. Good for Misconceived Reasons: An Empirical Revisiting on the Need for Visual Context in Multimodal Machine Translation (2021 · 119 citations)
    The paper asks whether multimodal machine translation (MMT) systems really benefit from images, or whether their reported gains come from something else.
