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

TL;DR: An in-depth analysis of the relational knowledge already present (without fine-tuning) in a wide range of state-of-the-art pretrained language models finds that BERT contains relational knowledge competitive with traditional NLP methods that have some access to oracle knowledge.

VL-BERT: Pre-training of Generic Visual-Linguistic Representations
TL;DR: A new pre-trainable generic representation for visual-linguistic tasks, called Visual-Linguistic BERT (VL-BERT), which adopts the simple yet powerful Transformer model as the backbone, and extends it to take both visual and linguistic embedded features as input.

TL;DR: A simple, efficient intra-layer model parallel approach that enables training transformer models with billions of parameters and shows that careful attention to the placement of layer normalization in BERT-like models is critical to achieving increased performance as the model size grows.

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).
