A new research paper explores whether neural language models (NLMs) can distinguish grammatical from ungrammatical sentences by examining their internal representations, rather than just probability assignments. Using a technique called mass-mean probing, the study found that grammaticality is consistently encoded in the representations of various pretrained NLMs. This encoding appears to be robust across different grammatical phenomena and even generalizes to some extent across languages, suggesting grammaticality is a distinct dimension within these models.
