Difficult Samples

Analyze some difficult samples with and GPT-3 and BERT SRL.

We'll cover the following

Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3
Code playground

Now let’s try some more difficult samples.

This lesson will run samples that contain problems that the BERT-based transformer will solve. We will end with an intractable sample.

Let’s start with a complex sample that the BERT-based transformer can analyze.

Sample 1

Sample 1 takes us into more tricky SRL territory. The sample separates Alice from the verb liked, creating a long-term dependency that has to jump over whose husband went jogging every Sunday.

The sentence is:
