Interpretation of Generalization in Masked Language Models: An Investigation Straddling Quantifiers and Generics
No full textGenerics are statements that express generalizations and are used to communicate generalizable knowledge. While generics convey general truths (e.g., Birds can fly), they often allow for exceptions (e.g., penguins do not fly). Nonetheless, generics form the basis of how we communicate our commonsense about the world. We explored the interpretation of generics in Masked Language Models (MLMs), building on psycholinguistic experimental designs. As this interpretation requires a comparison with overtly quantified sentences, we investigated i) the probability of quantifiers, ii) the internal representation of nouns in generic vs. quantified sentences, and iii) whether the presence of a generic sentence as context influences quantifiers’ probabilities. The outcomes confirm that MLMs are insensitive to quantification; nevertheless, they appear to encode a meaning associated with the generic form, which leads them to reshape the probability associated with various quantifiers when the generic sentence is provided as context
More Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes from Pantelleria Mediterranean maquis litter
No full textThis is the second contribution to the knowledge of Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes found on different plant litters from Pantelleria mediterranean maquis. Four new species are proposted while others are identified only as genera because of the scanty material found

in Pantelleria are described. Anungitea raimondoi and Pleurotheciopsis asymmetrica are proposed as new specie
Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes from Circeo National Park Mediterranean maquis litter

Neural Generative Models and the Parallel Architecture of Language: A Critical Review and Outlook
No full textAccording to the parallel architecture, syntactic and semantic information processing are two separate streams that interact selectively during language comprehension. While considerable effort is put into psycho- and neurolinguistics to understand the interchange of processing mechanisms in human comprehension, the nature of this interaction in recent neural Large Language Models remains elusive. In this article, we revisit influential linguistic and behavioral experiments and evaluate the ability of a large language model, GPT-3, to perform these tasks. The model can solve semantic tasks autonomously from syntactic realization in a manner that resembles human behavior. However, the outcomes present a complex and variegated picture, leaving open the question of how Language Models could learn structured conceptual representations
Per un'ecologia della memoria materiale
No full textIl testo elabora un'interpretazione delle azioni di rigenerazione urbana e territoriale degli ultimi due decenni nel territorio di Forlì e Cesena, identificando tendenze generali orientate da transizioni nei regimi socioeconomici e culturali. Tra queste l'estensione del sistema universitario bolognese costituisce un asse fondamentale. Sono infine identificate le sfide con cui le società residenti dovranno confrontarsi nel futuro, come la conservazione selettiva di sistemi architettonici identitari e il simmetrico ritiro della fruizione antropica da parti del suolo da destinare a rioccupazione da parte di nuove forme di naturalità
Indagini micologiche preliminari nella foresta di Tai in Costa d'Avorio. Note su Aspergillus longivesica Huang et Raper
No full textMycological investigation on tropical forest soils, to establish suitable isolament techniques are carried out. From the isolaments by adding lactic acid or streptomycin sulphate to the media with the purpose to limit the bacterial growth, resulted 205 and 144 fungal strain respectively. Remarkable is the presence of Mortierella isabellina, Oidiodentron griseum and Penicillium cyclopium. The second isolament in tropical soils of Aspergiòòus longivesica is pointed out as of particular interest
Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes from Bosco Isola (S Italy) Mediterranean maquis litter
