Analyzing Order-Insensitivity in Language Models
A language model is designed to process all words in a sentence simultaneously, rather than in a sequential order. Analyze the primary challenge this model would face in distinguishing the meaning between 'The executive who the board hired was effective' and 'The board who the executive hired was effective'. In your analysis, explain precisely what information is missing due to the model's processing method.

Comparison of Arbitrary Order Prediction and Masked Language Modeling
An engineer builds a language model where all input words in a sentence are processed simultaneously and independently before their information is combined. When testing the model with the sentences 'The cat chased the dog' and 'The dog chased the cat', the engineer observes that the model generates identical internal representations for both, failing to capture their different meanings. Which of the following modifications would most directly address this fundamental flaw?
