  1. The emergence of number and syntax units in LSTM language models (2019 · 194 citations)
    LSTM language models handle long-distance subject–verb number agreement well, but it was unclear whether they rely on real syntactic structure or on shallow cues.
  2. Language acquisition: do children and language models follow similar learning stages? (2023 · 33 citations)
    Children acquire language in a consistent order: first sounds, then words, and later increasingly complex syntax.
