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

Text Classification via Large Language Models
TL;DR: CARP as mentioned in this paper adopts a progressive reasoning strategy tailored to addressing the complex linguistic phenomena involved in text classification, which prompts LLMs to find superficial clues (e.g., keywords, tones, semantic relations, references, etc), based on which a diagnostic reasoning process is induced for final decisions.

Hierarchical Phrase-Based Sequence-to-Sequence Learning
TL;DR: The authors proposed a neural transducer that incorporates hierarchical phrases as a source of inductive bias during training and as explicit constraints during inference, and showed that hierarchical phrases can improve the performance of small-scale machine translation.

BasqueGLUE: A Natural Language Understanding Benchmark for Basque
TL;DR: BasqueGLUE is presented, the first NLU benchmark for Basque, a less-resourced language, which has been elaborated from previously existing datasets and following similar criteria to those used for the construction of GLUE and SuperGLUE.

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.
