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

On Identifiability in Transformers
Gino Brunner,Yang Liu,Damian Pascual,Oliver Richter,Massimiliano Ciaramita,Roger Wattenhofer +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that self-attention distributions are not directly interpretable and the identifiability of attention weights and token embeddings is studied, and the aggregation of context into hidden tokens is studied.

BERTology Meets Biology: Interpreting Attention in Protein Language Models
TL;DR: The inner workings of the Transformer is analyzed and it is shown that attention captures the folding structure of proteins, connecting amino acids that are far apart in the underlying sequence, but spatially close in the three-dimensional structure.

Trick Me If You Can: Human-in-the-Loop Generation of Adversarial Examples for Question Answering
TL;DR: The authors used adversarial evaluation to stress-test a model's understanding of natural language and found that the resulting adversarial examples are limited in complexity and are ineffective in the presence of superficial patterns.

Answers Unite! Unsupervised Metrics for Reinforced Summarization Models
TL;DR: This work explores and proposes alternative evaluation measures and reports that the reported human-evaluation analysis shows that the proposed metrics, based on Question Answering, favorably compare to ROUGE – with the additional property of not requiring reference summaries.

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).
