TLDR
This paper proposed a multilingual variant of T5, mT5, which was pre-trained on a new Common Crawl-based dataset covering 101 languages and achieved state-of-the-art performance on many multilingual benchmarks.Abstract:
The recent “Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer” (T5) leveraged a unified text-to-text format and scale to attain state-of-the-art results on a wide variety of English-language NLP tasks. In this paper, we introduce mT5, a multilingual variant of T5 that was pre-trained on a new Common Crawl-based dataset covering 101 languages. We detail the design and modified training of mT5 and demonstrate its state-of-the-art performance on many multilingual benchmarks. We also describe a simple technique to prevent “accidental translation” in the zero-shot setting, where a generative model chooses to (partially) translate its prediction into the wrong language. All of the code and model checkpoints used in this work are publicly available.read more

Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Machine Reading Comprehension via Inter-sentence Dependency Graph
TL;DR: The authors propose the Inter-Sentence Dependency Graph (ISDG) encoder that encodes the global dependency graph, addressing the inter-sentence relations via both one-hop and multi-hop dependency paths explicitly.

Multi-level Distillation of Semantic Knowledge for Pre-training Multilingual Language Model
TL;DR: The authors employ a teacher-student framework to adopt rich semantic representation knowledge in English BERT and propose token-, word-, sentence-, and structure level alignment objectives to encourage multiple levels of consistency between source-target pairs and correlation similarity between teacher and student models.

Multi-Granularity Prompts for Topic Shift Detection in Dialogue
TL;DR: The authors take a prompt-based approach to fully extract topic information from dialogues at multiple-granularity, i.e., label, turn, and topic, and show that the information extracted at different levels of granularity effectively helps the model comprehend the conversation topics.

RoBERTa: A Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach
Yinhan Liu,Myle Ott,Naman Goyal,Jingfei Du,Mandar Joshi,Danqi Chen,Omer Levy,Michael Lewis,Luke Zettlemoyer,Veselin Stoyanov +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that BERT was significantly undertrained, and can match or exceed the performance of every model published after it, and the best model achieves state-of-the-art results on GLUE, RACE and SQuAD.
