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

Pre-training and Evaluating Transformer-based Language Models for Icelandic
Jón Guðhnason,Hrafn Loftsson +1 more
TL;DR: This paper evaluates several Transformer-based language models for Icelandic on four downstream tasks: Part- of-Speech tagging, Named Entity Recognition, Dependency Parsing, and Automatic Text Summarization and finds that the Transformer models obtain better results, often by a large margin, compared to previous state-of-the-art models.

Aligning Generative Language Models with Human Values
TL;DR: S ENSEI is a new reinforcement learning based method that can embed human values judgements into each step of language generation and achieves higher alignment performance in terms of both automatic and human evaluations, but also shows improvements on robustness and transfer learning on unseen human values.

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.
