• Abstract: English verbs have multiple forms. For instance, talk may also appear as talks, talked or talking, depending on the context. The NLP task of lemmatization seeks to map these diverse forms back to a canonical one, known as the lemma. We present a simple joint neural model for lemmatization and morphological tagging that achieves state-of-the-art results on 20 languages from the Universal Dependencies corpora. Our paper describes the model in addition to training and decoding procedures. Error analysis indicates that joint morphological tagging and lemmatization is especially helpful in low-resource lemmatization and languages that display a larger degree of morphological complexity. Code and pre-trained models are available at https://sigmorphon.github.io/sharedtasks/2019/task2/.

  We present the chronological probing study of transformer English models such as MultiBERT and T5. We compare the information about the language learned by the models in the process of training on corpora. The results show that 1) linguistic information is acquired in the early stages of training 2) both language models demonstrate capabilities to capture various features from various levels of language.

  Morphologically rich languages pose difficulties to machine translation. A large amount of differently inflected word surface forms entails a larger vocabulary. Some inflected forms of infrequent terms typically do not appear in the training corpus. Linguistic agreement requires the system to correctly match the grammatical categories between inflected word forms in the output sentence.

  We find that state-of-the-art NLI models, such as RoBERTa and BART, are invariant to, and sometimes even perform better on, examples with randomly reordered words. Our findings call into question the idea that our natural language understanding models, and the tasks used for measuring their progress, genuinely require a human-like understanding of syntax.

  We use state-of-the-art machine learning models for morphological reinflection to model Nen verbal morphology. Our results show sensitivity to training data composition; different distributions of verb type yield different accuracies. We also demonstrate the types of patterns that can be inferred from the training data through the case study of syncretism.

• Neural Polysynthetic Language Modelling [15.257624461339867]
  In high-resource languages, a common approach is to treat morphologically-distinct variants of a common root as completely independent word types. This assumes, that there are limited inflections per root, and that the majority will appear in a large enough corpus. We examine the current state-of-the-art in language modelling, machine translation, and text prediction for four polysynthetic languages.
