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

BERT for Coreference Resolution: Baselines and Analysis
TL;DR: A qualitative analysis of model predictions indicates that, compared to ELMo and Bert-base, BERT-large is particularly better at distinguishing between related but distinct entities, but that there is still room for improvement in modeling document-level context, conversations, and mention paraphrasing.

Transformer Dissection: An Unified Understanding for Transformer's Attention via the Lens of Kernel
TL;DR: A new formulation of attention via the lens of the kernel is presented, which models the input as a product of symmetric kernels and achieves competitive performance to the current state of the art model with less computation.

Top2Vec: Distributed Representations of Topics
TL;DR: This model does not require stop-word lists, stemming or lemmatization, and it automatically finds the number of topics, and the resulting topic vectors are jointly embedded with the document and word vectors with distance between them representing semantic similarity.

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).
