TLDR
BERT as mentioned in this paper pre-trains deep bidirectional representations from unlabeled text by jointly conditioning on both left and right context in all layers, which can be fine-tuned with just one additional output layer to create state-of-the-art models for a wide range of tasks.Abstract:
We introduce a new language representation model called BERT, which stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers. Unlike recent language representation models (Peters et al., 2018a; Radford et al., 2018), BERT is designed to pre-train deep bidirectional representations from unlabeled text by jointly conditioning on both left and right context in all layers. As a result, the pre-trained BERT model can be fine-tuned with just one additional output layer to create state-of-the-art models for a wide range of tasks, such as question answering and language inference, without substantial task-specific architecture modifications. BERT is conceptually simple and empirically powerful. It obtains new state-of-the-art results on eleven natural language processing tasks, including pushing the GLUE score to 80.5 (7.7 point absolute improvement), MultiNLI accuracy to 86.7% (4.6% absolute improvement), SQuAD v1.1 question answering Test F1 to 93.2 (1.5 point absolute improvement) and SQuAD v2.0 Test F1 to 83.1 (5.1 point absolute improvement).read more

Style Transformer: Unpaired Text Style Transfer without Disentangled Latent Representation
TL;DR: The Style Transformer is proposed, which makes no assumption about the latent representation of source sentence and equips the power of attention mechanism in Transformer to achieve better style transfer and better content preservation.

Quantifying Attention Flow in Transformers
Samira Abnar,Willem Zuidema +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes two methods for approximating the attention to input tokens given attention weights, attention rollout and attention flow, as post hoc methods when the authors use attention weights as the relative relevance of the input tokens.

TL;DR: This survey reviews neural unsupervised domain adaptation techniques which do not require labeled target domain data, and revisits the notion of domain, and uncovers a bias in the type of Natural Language Processing tasks which received most attention.

Multi-Modality Cross Attention Network for Image and Sentence Matching
TL;DR: This work designs a novel cross-attention mechanism, which is able to exploit not only the intra-modality relationship within each modality, but also the inter- modality relationship between image regions and sentence words to complement and enhance each other for image and sentence matching.

Visual Commonsense R-CNN
TL;DR: A novel unsupervised feature representation learning method, Visual Commonsense Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (VC R-CNN), is presented to serve as an improved visual region encoder for high-level tasks such as captioning and VQA, and observes consistent performance boosts across them.

Deep contextualized word representations

TL;DR: This paper introduced a new type of deep contextualized word representation that models both complex characteristics of word use (e.g., syntax and semantics), and how these uses vary across linguistic contexts (i.e., to model polysemy).
