简介:
Transformers (Vaswani et al, 2017) have led to a series of breakthroughs in various deep learning tasks (Devlin et al, 2019; Velickovic et al, 2018).
They do not contain recurrent connections and can parallelize all computations in the same layer, improving effectiveness, efficiency, and scalability.
The authors conduct a comprehensive analysis in theoretical and empirical manners to answer the question: what complicates Transformer training

简介:
Learning useful representations of language has been a source of recent success in natural language processing (NLP).
The authors focus on learning semantic sentence embeddings in this paper, which play an important role in many downstream applications.
Since they do not require any labelled data for fine-tuning, sentence embeddings are useful for a variety of problems right out of the box.
Semantic similarity measures have downstream uses such as fine-tuning machine translation systems (Wieting et al, 2019a)

简介:
Neural networks have seen wide adoption but are frequently criticized for being black boxes, offering little insight as to why predictions are made (Benitez et al, 1997; Dayhoff and DeLeo, 2001; Castelvecchi, 2016) and making it difficult to diagnose errors at test-time.
The authors evaluate the calibration of two pre-trained models, BERT (Devlin et al, 2019) and RoBERTa (Liu et al, 2019), on three tasks: natural language inference (Bowman et al, 2015), paraphrase detection (Iyer et al, 2017), and commonsense reasoning (Zellers et al, 2018)
These tasks represent standard evaluation settings for pretrained models, and critically, challenging out-ofdomain test datasets are available for each.
Such test data allows them to measure calibration in more realistic settings where samples stem from a dissimilar input distribution, which is exactly the scenario where the authors hope a well-calibrated model would avoid making confident yet incorrect predictions

简介:
Transformers (Vaswani et al, 2017; Devlin et al, 2019; Yang et al, 2019; Liu et al, 2019; Lan et al, 2020) have improved the state-of-the-art in a wide range of natural language processing tasks.
The attention mechanism computes an output vector by accumulating relevant information from a sequence of input vectors.
It assigns attention weights to each input, and sums up input vectors based on their weights.
Attention computes each output vector yi ∈ Rd from the corresponding pre-update vector yi ∈ Rd and a sequence of input vectors X = {x1, .

简介:
The past year has seen a spate of BERT-style (Devlin et al, 2019) transformer-based architectures (Lu et al, 2019; Chen et al, 2019; Li et al, 2019) proposed for vision-and-language tasks
These models are typically pre-trained on large image captioning corpora, extending ideas from masked language modeling to mask both the image and text modalities and produce state of the art results on a variety of vision and language tasks including visual question answering, visual grounding and image retrieval.
LXMERT consists of two types of encoders: single-modality encoders for each modality and a cross-modality encoder using bi-directional cross attention to exchange information and align entities across the modalities

简介:
State-of-the-art neural machine translation (NMT) models operate almost end-to-end except for input and output text segmentation.
Training character-level Transformer S2S models (Vaswani et al, 2017) is more complicated because the selfattention size is quadratic in the sequence length.
The authors observe that training a character-level model directly from random initialization suffers from instabilities, often preventing it from converging.
The authors' character-level models show slightly worse translation quality, but have better robustness towards input noise and better capture morphological phenomena.
The authors' approach is important because previous approaches have relied on very large transformers, which are out of reach for much of the research community
