Viewmaker Networks: Learning Views for Unsupervised Representation Learning

Alex Tamkin, Mike Wu, Noah Goodman

Many recent methods for unsupervised representation learning train models to be invariant to different "views," or distorted versions of an input. However, designing these views re…

Investigating Transferability in Pretrained Language Models

Alex Tamkin, Trisha Singh, Davide Giovanardi +1

How does language model pretraining help transfer learning? We consider a simple ablation technique for determining the impact of each pretrained layer on transfer task performance…
