GLM: General Language Model Pretraining with Autoregressive Blank Infilling (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing pretraining frameworks do not perform well for all tasks of three main categories, such as natural language understanding (NLU), unconditional generation, and conditional generation. |
| Approach: | They propose a general language model based on autoregressive blank infilling to address this challenge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms BERT, T5, and GPT on a wide range of tasks across NLU, conditional and unconditional generation tasks. |
Blockwise Self-Attention for Long Document Understanding (2020.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in pre-training and fine-tuning methods have drastically reshaped the landscape of natural language processing research. |
| Approach: | They propose a lightweight BERT model that introduces sparse block structures into the attention matrix to reduce memory consumption and training/inference time. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model uses 18.7-36.1% less memory and 12.0-25.1% more time to learn compared to an advanced BERT-based model, RoBERTa. |
