Improving Pre-trained Language Model Sensitivity via Mask Specific losses: A case study on Biomedical NER (2024.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Fine-tuning is the prevailing practice for adapting language models (LMs) to new domains. |
| Approach: | They propose a mask specific language model that weights the importance of domain-specific terms during fine-tuning to avoid insensitivity. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms advanced masking strategies such as span- and PMI-based masking. |
