Comparing Test Sets with Item Response Theory

Clara Vania, Phu Mon Htut, William Huang +6

Recent years have seen numerous NLP datasets introduced to evaluate the performance of fine-tuned models on natural language understanding tasks. Recent results from large pretrain…

Intermediate-Task Transfer Learning with Pretrained Models for Natural Language Understanding: When and Why Does It Work?

Yada Pruksachatkun, Jason Phang, Haokun Liu +6

While pretrained models such as BERT have shown large gains across natural language understanding tasks, their performance can be improved by further training the model on a data-r…

English Intermediate-Task Training Improves Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Transfer Too

Jason Phang, Iacer Calixto, Phu Mon Htut +5

Intermediate-task training---fine-tuning a pretrained model on an intermediate task before fine-tuning again on the target task---often improves model performance substantially on…

jiant: A Software Toolkit for Research on General-Purpose Text Understanding Models

Yada Pruksachatkun, Phil Yeres, Haokun Liu +5

We introduce jiant, an open source toolkit for conducting multitask and transfer learning experiments on English NLU tasks. jiant enables modular and configuration-driven experimen…

Do Attention Heads in BERT Track Syntactic Dependencies?

Phu Mon Htut, Jason Phang, Shikha Bordia +1

We investigate the extent to which individual attention heads in pretrained transformer language models, such as BERT and RoBERTa, implicitly capture syntactic dependency relations…

Generalized Inner Loop Meta-Learning

Edward Grefenstette, Brandon Amos, Denis Yarats +6

Many (but not all) approaches self-qualifying as "meta-learning" in deep learning and reinforcement learning fit a common pattern of approximating the solution to a nested optimiza…
