Here we consider some well-known facts in syntax from a physics perspective, allowing us to establish equivalences between both fields with many consequences. Mainly, we observe that the operation MERGE, put forward by N. Chomsky in 1995, can be interpreted as a physical information coarse-graining. Thus, MERGE in linguistics entails information renormalization in physics, according to different time scales. We make this point mathematically formal in terms of language models. In this setting, MERGE amounts to a probability tensor implementing a coarse-graining, akin to a probabilistic context-free grammar. The probability vectors of meaningful sentences are given by stochastic tensor networks (TN) built from diagonal tensors and which are mostly loop-free, such as Tree Tensor Networks and Matrix Product States, thus being computationally very efficient to manipulate. We show that this implies the polynomially-decaying (long-range) correlations experimentally observed in language, and also provides arguments in favour of certain types of neural networks for language processing. Moreover, we show how to obtain such language models from quantum states that can be efficiently prepared on a quantum computer, and use this to find bounds on the perplexity of the probability distribution of words in a sentence. Implications of our results are discussed across several ambits.

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) applications are used in manufacturing to model everything from coffee mugs to sports cars. These programs are complex and require years of training and experience to master. A component of all CAD models particularly diff icult to make are the highly structured 2D sketches that lie at the heart of every 3D construction. In this work, we propose a machine learning model capable of automatically generating such sketches. Through this, we pave the way for developing intelligent tools that would help engineers create better designs with less effort. Our method is a combination of a general-purpose language modeling technique alongside an off-the-shelf data serialization protocol. We show that our approach has enough flexibility to accommodate the complexity of the domain and performs well for both unconditional synthesis and image-to-sketch translation.

We introduce ELIT, the Emory Language and Information Toolkit, which is a comprehensive NLP framework providing transformer-based end-to-end models for core tasks with a special focus on memory efficiency while maintaining state-of-the-art accuracy a nd speed. Compared to existing toolkits, ELIT features an efficient Multi-Task Learning (MTL) model with many downstream tasks that include lemmatization, part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition, dependency parsing, constituency parsing, semantic role labeling, and AMR parsing. The backbone of ELITs MTL framework is a pre-trained transformer encoder that is shared across tasks to speed up their inference. ELIT provides pre-trained models developed on a remix of eight datasets. To scale up its service, ELIT also integrates a RESTful Client/Server combination. On the server side, ELIT extends its functionality to cover other tasks such as tokenization and coreference resolution, providing an end user with agile research experience. All resources including the source codes, documentation, and pre-trained models are publicly available at https://github.com/emorynlp/elit.
Multilingual pretrained language models (MPLMs) exhibit multilinguality and are well suited for transfer across languages. Most MPLMs are trained in an unsupervised fashion and the relationship between their objective and multilinguality is unclear. More specifically, the question whether MPLM representations are language-agnostic or they simply interleave well with learned task prediction heads arises. In this work, we locate language-specific information in MPLMs and identify its dimensionality and the layers where this information occurs. We show that language-specific information is scattered across many dimensions, which can be projected into a linear subspace. Our study contributes to a better understanding of MPLM representations, going beyond treating them as unanalyzable blobs of information.

We report a study of the lattice dynamics in superconducting NaFeAs (Tc = 8 K) and doped NaFe0.97Co0.03As (Tc = 20 K) using Raman light scattering. Five of the six phonon modes expected from group theory are observed. In contrast with results obtaine d on iso-structural and iso-electronic LiFeAs, anomalous broadening of Eg(As) and A1g(Na) modes upon cooling is observed in both samples. In addition, in the Co-doped sample, a superconductivity-induced renormalization of the frequency and linewidth of the B1g(Fe) vibration is observed. This renormalization can not be understood within a single band and simple multi-band approaches. A theoretical model that includes the effects of SDW correlations along with sign-changing s-wave pairing state and interband scattering has been developed to explain the observed behavior of the B1g(Fe) mode.
Different flavors of transfer learning have shown tremendous impact in advancing research and applications of machine learning. In this work we study the use of a specific family of transfer learning, where the target domain is mapped to the source d omain. Specifically we map Natural Language Understanding (NLU) problems to QuestionAnswering (QA) problems and we show that in low data regimes this approach offers significant improvements compared to other approaches to NLU. Moreover we show that these gains could be increased through sequential transfer learning across NLU problems from different domains. We show that our approach could reduce the amount of required data for the same performance by up to a factor of 10.
