Challenge: Current language models have been criticised for learning language from text alone without connection between words and their meaning.
Approach: They propose to train models on more sources than text to provide the lacking connection between words and their meanings.
Outcome: The proposed model adaptation methods perform differently for different models and unimodal model counterparts perform on par with the VL models regardless of adaptation.

Does Vision-and-Language Pretraining Improve Lexical Grounding? (2021.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Large pretrained language models (LMs) have been criticized for lack of grounding, i.e., connecting words to their meanings in the physical world.
Approach: They compare vision-and-language (VL) models trained jointly on text and image or video data to find out how they compare to text-only counterparts.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms the text-only variants on a commonsense question answering task.

Challenge: Pretrained multilingual models enable zero-shot learning even for unseen languages . current multilingual model covers only a small subset of the world's languages - due to data sparsity, they are not likely to obtain good results for many lowresource languages.
Approach: They ask: how does the number of pretraining languages influence zero-shot learning for unseen languages? do the findings change if the languages used for pretraining are all related?
Outcome: The results show that pretrained models can zero-shot learn for unseen languages even for limited amounts even for low-resource languages.
Can Monolingual Pretrained Models Help Cross-Lingual Classification? (2020.aacl-main)

Approach: They propose to transfer the knowledge from monolingual pretrained models to multilingual ones to improve zero-shot cross-lingual classification by using machine translation systems.
Outcome: The proposed methods outperform vanilla multilingual fine-tuning on two cross-lingual classification benchmarks.
