Papers with task-specific pretraining
A Thorough Evaluation of Task-Specific Pretraining for Summarization (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Previous work has used task-agnostic pretraining methods like masked language models or corrupted span prediction to improve performance on downstream tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a task-agnostic pretraining to improve on low-resource tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can predict extracted gap sentences on summarization with a low resource and zero shot setup. |
Robust Transfer Learning with Pretrained Language Models through Adapters (2021.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to transfer learning with pretrained transformer-based language models are not robust and can be adversarial. |
| Approach: | They propose a simple yet effective adapter-based approach to fine-tune language models on downstream tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves stability and adversarial robustness in transfer learning to various downstream tasks. |

| Challenge: | Existing LMs undergo task-agnostic pertaining, but task-specific pretraining has gained prominence. |
| Approach: | They propose retrieval augmented pretraining and task-specific pretraining for DG . they propose to refine language model pretraining to align it more closely with downstream task . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves the performance of multiple-choice questions by integrating knowledge graphs and language models. |
