1. **[LSTMs Can Learn Syntax-Sensitive Dependencies Well, But Modeling Structure Makes Them Better](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kuncoro-2018-lstms-can-learn-syntax-sensitive/)** *(2018 · 208 citations)* Linzen et al. (2016) used subject–verb number agreement as a probe of syntactic competence. The hard cases contain intervening "attractor" nouns whose number differs from the subject. On that basis they argued that LSTM language models fail to capture long-range syntactic dependencies. Kuncoro et al. rerun this test…
2. **[Transformer Grammars: Augmenting Transformer Language Models with Syntactic Inductive Biases at Scale](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sartran-2022-transformer-grammars-augmenting-transformer-language/)** *(2022 · 72 citations)* Large Transformer LMs perform strongly without any explicit model of hierarchical syntax. It was unclear whether recursive syntactic composition, which helped small LSTM-based RNNGs, still adds value for Transformers at larger scale. The authors introduce Transformer Grammars (TGs), built on Transformer-XL, which…
