They cannot show whether the property actually causes those representations, and correlated linguistic features can inflate their scores. The authors propose causal probing through input-level interventions on… 2. **[Hexatagging: Projective Dependency Parsing as Tagging](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/amini-2023-hexatagging-projective-dependency-parsing-as/)** *(2023 · 16 citations)* The paper turns projective dependency parsing into tagging. Each word receives a "hexatag" from a finite set that encodes the stack actions of a binarized version of its tree, and all words are tagged in parallel with two linear projections over a pretrained encoder. Because validity depends only on the number of… 3. **[Which Spurious Correlations Impact Reasoning in NLI Models?
