Improving Word Embedding Factorization for Compression Using Distilled Nonlinear Neural Decomposition (2020.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Word-embeddings are vital components of natural language processing (NLP) but they consume a lot of memory which poses a challenge for edge deployment. |
| Approach: | They propose an embedding compression method based on matrix decomposition and knowledge distillation that initializes weights of pre-trained word-embeddings and fine-tunes end-to-end. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method has higher BLEU score on translation and lower perplexity on language modeling compared to complex, difficult to tune methods. |
