But it also studies the potential cognitive interpretation of the underlying representations built by the search method (beam activity) through analysis of neuro-imaging signal through correlations with the neuro-imaging signal during naturalistic text listening The paper provides a preliminary investigation of how the improvements in natural language parsing techniques can be used for modelling brain activity during online sentence comprehension.
we focus on the RNNG generative parsing framework (Dyer et al., 2016), that allows us to extract information-theoretic measures that are relevant for cognitive studies such as surprisal or entropy (Hale, 2016).
