How about Time? Probing a Multilingual Language Model for Temporal Relations
Tommaso Caselli, Irene Dini, Felice Dell’Orletta
This paper presents a comprehensive set of probing experiments using a multilingual language model, XLM-R, for temporal relation classification between events in four languages. Results show an advantage of contextualized embeddings over static ones and a detrimen- tal role of sentence level embeddings. While obtaining competitive results against state-of-the-art systems, our probes indicate a lack of suitable encoded information to properly address this task.
