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

RealToxicityPrompts: Evaluating Neural Toxic Degeneration in Language Models
TL;DR: It is found that pretrained LMs can degenerate into toxic text even from seemingly innocuous prompts, and empirically assess several controllable generation methods find that while data- or compute-intensive methods are more effective at steering away from toxicity than simpler solutions, no current method is failsafe against neural toxic degeneration.

TL;DR: This paper proposed task agnostic relation representations from entity-linked text, which significantly outperform previous work on exemplar-based relation extraction (FewRel) even without using any of that task's training data.

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).
