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

Reformer: The Efficient Transformer
TL;DR: This work replaces dot-product attention by one that uses locality-sensitive hashing and uses reversible residual layers instead of the standard residuals, which allows storing activations only once in the training process instead of several times, making the model much more memory-efficient and much faster on long sequences.

TL;DR: This work uses the latest advances in language modeling to build a single pre-trained QA model, UNIFIEDQA, that performs well across 19 QA datasets spanning 4 diverse formats, and results in a new state of the art on 10 factoid and commonsense question answering datasets.

CURL: Contrastive Unsupervised Representations for Reinforcement Learning
TL;DR: CURL extracts high-level features from raw pixels using contrastive learning and performs off-policy control on top of the extracted features and is the first image-based algorithm to nearly match the sample-efficiency of methods that use state-based features.

Calibrate Before Use: Improving Few-Shot Performance of Language Models
TL;DR: This work first estimates the model's bias towards each answer by asking for its prediction when given the training prompt and a content-free test input such as "N/A", and then fits calibration parameters that cause the prediction for this input to be uniform across answers.

Multi-Task Deep Neural Networks for Natural Language Understanding
TL;DR: A Multi-Task Deep Neural Network (MT-DNN) for learning representations across multiple natural language understanding (NLU) tasks that allows domain adaptation with substantially fewer in-domain labels than the pre-trained BERT representations.

TL;DR: This paper proposed a simple network architecture based solely on an attention mechanism, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely and achieved state-of-the-art performance on English-to-French translation.

ImageNet: A large-scale hierarchical image database
TL;DR: A new database called “ImageNet” is introduced, a large-scale ontology of images built upon the backbone of the WordNet structure, much larger in scale and diversity and much more accurate than the current image datasets.

Glove: Global Vectors for Word Representation
TL;DR: A new global logbilinear regression model that combines the advantages of the two major model families in the literature: global matrix factorization and local context window methods and produces a vector space with meaningful substructure.

TL;DR: This paper presents a simple method for finding phrases in text, and shows that learning good vector representations for millions of phrases is possible and describes a simple alternative to the hierarchical softmax called negative sampling.

Deep contextualized word representations
Matthew E. Peters,Mark Neumann,Mohit Iyyer,Matt Gardner,Christopher Clark,Kenton Lee,Luke Zettlemoyer +6 more
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).
