We\nprovide further support to this claim by showing that the addition of a simple\nadaptation mechanism to a neural language model improves our predictions of\nhuman reading times compared to a non-adaptive model. We analyze the\nperformance of the model on controlled materials from psycholinguistic\nexperiments and show that it adapts not only to lexical items but also to\nabstract syntactic structures.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1808.09930v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.09930v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-neural-model-of-adaptation-in-reading","repo_url":"https://github.com/vansky/neural-complexity","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"language-modeling","task_name":"Language Modeling"},{"task_slug":"language-modelling","task_name":"Language Modelling"},{"task_slug":"model","task_name":"model"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1808.09930","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
