TLM: Token-Level Masking for Transformers (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Structured dropout approaches have been investigated to regularize the multi-head attention mechanism in Transformers. |
| Approach: | They propose a new regularization scheme based on token-level rather than structure-level to reduce overfitting by manipulating the connections between tokens in the multi-head attention via masking. |
| Outcome: | The proposed regularization scheme outperforms attention dropout and DropHead on 18 datasets and can establish a new record on the data-to-text benchmark Rotowire (18.93 BLEU). |
