  1. Language Model Behavior: A Comprehensive Survey (2024 · 148 citations)
    Transformer language models are now deployed widely, often with little or no task-specific tuning, but their outputs remain hard to predict, and the research on their behavior is scattered across hundreds of papers.
  2. When Is Multilinguality a Curse? Language Modeling for 250 High- and Low-Resource Languages (2024 · 85 citations)
    Multilingual language models are often used to support low-resource languages, but there is little direct evidence about how sharing a model with other languages affects modeling quality in any single language.
  3. The Geometry of Multilingual Language Model Representations (2022 · 82 citations)
    Multilingual language models are often described as mapping all languages into one common space. They also keep language-specific signals, and it has been unclear how both coexist geometrically. Chang, Tu and Bergen study this in XLM-R. They feed it OSCAR web text in 88 languages and use SVD to build a mean-shifted…
  4. Contextualized Sensorimotor Norms: multi-dimensional measures of sensorimotor strength for ambiguous English words, in context (2022 · 2 citations)
    Sensorimotor resources such as the Lancaster Sensorimotor Norms assign each word one profile, rated without context.
