Gemma: Open Models Based on Gemini Research and Technology
Gemma Team, Thomas Mesnard, Cassidy Hardin +105
This work introduces Gemma, a family of lightweight, state-of-the art open models built from the research and technology used to create Gemini models. Gemma models demonstrate stro…
Transfer Learning for Text Diffusion Models
Kehang Han, Kathleen Kenealy, Aditya Barua +2
In this report, we explore the potential for text diffusion to replace autoregressive (AR) decoding for the training and deployment of large language models (LLMs). We are particul…
Overcoming Catastrophic Forgetting in Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Generation
Tu Vu, Aditya Barua, Brian Lester +3
In this paper, we explore the challenging problem of performing a generative task in a target language when labeled data is only available in English, using summarization as a case…
ByT5: Towards a token-free future with pre-trained byte-to-byte models
Linting Xue, Aditya Barua, Noah Constant +5
Most widely-used pre-trained language models operate on sequences of tokens corresponding to word or subword units. By comparison, token-free models that operate directly on raw te…
mT5: A massively multilingual pre-trained text-to-text transformer
Linting Xue, Noah Constant, Adam Roberts +5
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 t…
LAReQA: Language-agnostic answer retrieval from a multilingual pool
Uma Roy, Noah Constant, Rami Al-Rfou +3
We present LAReQA, a challenging new benchmark for language-agnostic answer retrieval from a multilingual candidate pool. Unlike previous cross-lingual tasks, LAReQA tests for "str…
