1. **[Semeval-2022 Task 1: CODWOE – Comparing Dictionaries and Word Embeddings](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mickus-2022-codwoe-dictionaries-embeddings/)** *(2022 · 59 citations)* The paper describes the CODWOE shared task at SemEval-2022. It tests whether word embeddings contain the same information as dictionary definitions. The task is divided into two tracks. In the Definition Modeling track, a definition must be generated from a word's vector. In the Reverse Dictionary track, the…
2. **[How to Dissect a Muppet: The Structure of Transformer Embedding Spaces](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mickus-2022-how-dissect-muppet-structure-transformer/)** *(2022 · 31 citations)* Studies of pretrained Transformer embeddings usually either inspect attention weights or treat the whole network as an opaque box.
3. **[Language Models Learn Universal Representations of Numbers and Here's Why You Should Care](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/stefanik-2026-language-models-learn-universal-representations/)** *(2026)* The paper asks how consistently large language models encode numbers. Earlier studies found sine-like number embeddings but did not measure how closely they match across models, and they did not use natural-language contexts. The authors examine eight open checkpoints from the OLMo 2, Llama 3 and Phi 4 families. They…
