  This study aims to evaluate the capabilities of various large language models (LLMs) in capturing temporal dynamics of meaning. Our comparative analysis includes prominent models like ChatGPT, GPT-4, Claude, Bard, Gemini, and Llama. Findings reveal marked differences in each model's handling of historical context and semantic shifts, highlighting both strengths and limitations in temporal semantic understanding.

  The current paper looks at diachronic trends in syntactic language change in both English and German, using corpora of parliamentary debates from the last c. 160 years. We base our observations on five dependencys, including the widely used Stanford Core as well as 4 newer alternatives. We show that changes in syntactic measures seem to be more frequent at the tails of sentence length distributions.

  We present a human-in-the-loop approach to generate and filter effective contrast sets via corpus-guided edits. We show that our approach improves feature detection for both Indian English and African American English, demonstrate how it can assist linguistic research, and release our fine-tuned models for use by other researchers.

• The Rediscovery Hypothesis: Language Models Need to Meet Linguistics [8.293055016429863]
  We study whether linguistic knowledge is a necessary condition for good performance of modern language models. We show that language models that are significantly compressed but perform well on their pretraining objectives retain good scores when probed for linguistic structures. This result supports the rediscovery hypothesis and leads to the second contribution of our paper: an information-theoretic framework that relates language modeling objective with linguistic information.

In practice the data used for learning tends to be cleaner, clearer, and more grammatical than actual human interactions. We present a dataset of common household objects described by people using either spoken or written language.

  We use singular vector canonical correlation analysis to study what kind of information is induced from each source. We observe that our representations embed typology and strengthen correlations with language relationships. We then take advantage of our multi-view language vector space for multilingual machine translation, where we achieve competitive overall translation accuracy.
