5 Discussion & Conclusion
- What are the structural probe’s limits as a test of syntax?A more complex probe (e.g. a bilinear dependency parser) would surely parse better; the structural probe tests a deliberately strict notion, that all word pairs know their syntactic distance as a global property of the space. Other probes trade off complexity, task and hypothesis differently.
