Natural language processing

the gap between a probe's accuracy on a linguistic task and on a matched control task with random labels, indicating whether the representation or the probe did the work.

In natural language processing, probe selectivity refers to the gap between a probe's accuracy on a linguistic task and on a matched control task with random labels, indicating whether the representation or the probe did the work. This meaning comes from Hewitt (2019) in Proceedings of the 2019 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing and the 9th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (EMNLP-IJCNLP).[1]
