Structural Supervision Improves Few-Shot Learning and Syntactic Generalization in Neural Language Models

Humans can learn structural properties about a word from minimal experience, and deploy their learned syntactic representations uniformly in different grammatical contexts. We assess the ability of modern neural language models to reproduce this behavior in English and evaluate the effect of stru...
