On the Role of Directionality in Structural Generalization

Excerpt

arXiv:2607.02307v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Several SLOG test categories explicitly involve directional distinctions (modifier position shifts, argument extraction positions), yet AM-Parser, the previous SOTA, uses an AM algebra whose operations do not encode direction. We redesign the symbolic backend around CCG directed types (deterministic CKY + single linear decoder, 30K learnable parameters). Under the same BERT-base encoder, the system achieves 75.9$\pm$6.4% LF exact match, s
