Probing a Multilingual Language Model for Temporal Relations}, YEAR = {2022}, ABSTRACT = {This paper presents a comprehensive set of probing experiments using a multilingual language model, XLM-R, for temporal relation classification between events in four languages. Results show an advantage of contextualized embeddings over static ones and a detrimental role of sentence level embeddings. While obtaining competitive results against state-of-the-art systems, our probes indicate a lack of suitable encoded information to properly address this task.}, KEYWORDS = {Natural Language Processing, Neural Language Models, Temporal Relation Classification}, URL = {https://aclanthology.org/2022.coling-1.283/}, CONFERENCE_NAME = {International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING)}, CONFERENCE_PLACE = {Gyeongju, Republic of Kore}, CONFERENCE_DATE = {12-17 ottobre 2022}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Computational Linguistics, COLING 2022}, }
