New GiLT model uses dependency graphs to boost Transformer language models

Researchers have developed GiLT, a new Transformer language model that incorporates dependency graphs to enhance syntactic generalization. Unlike previous methods that add structural tokens, GiLT integrates linguistic information by modifying attention weights based on features from incrementally constructed dependency graphs. Experiments show that GiLT, particularly with semantic dependency graphs, achieves superior syntactic generalization and competitive perplexity compared to standard Transformer models. The model can also be fine-tuned from pre-trained models to improve performance on downstream tasks. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel method for integrating linguistic structure into LLMs, potentially improving their understanding of syntax and generalization capabilities.
