Tiny Aya: Bridging Scale and Multilingual Depth

Alejandro R. Salamanca, Diana Abagyan, Daniel D'souza +23

Tiny Aya redefines what a small multilingual language model can achieve. Trained on 70 languages and refined through region-aware posttraining, it delivers state-of-the-art in tran…

The Curious Case of Absolute Position Embeddings

Koustuv Sinha, Amirhossein Kazemnejad, Siva Reddy +3

Transformer language models encode the notion of word order using positional information. Most commonly, this positional information is represented by absolute position embeddings…

Questions Are All You Need to Train a Dense Passage Retriever

Devendra Singh Sachan, Mike Lewis, Dani Yogatama +3

We introduce ART, a new corpus-level autoencoding approach for training dense retrieval models that does not require any labeled training data. Dense retrieval is a central challen…

Improving Passage Retrieval with Zero-Shot Question Generation

Devendra Singh Sachan, Mike Lewis, Mandar Joshi +4

We propose a simple and effective re-ranking method for improving passage retrieval in open question answering. The re-ranker re-scores retrieved passages with a zero-shot question…

Estimating causal effects with optimization-based methods: A review and empirical comparison

Martin Cousineau, Vedat Verter, Susan A. Murphy +1

In the absence of randomized controlled and natural experiments, it is necessary to balance the distributions of (observable) covariates of the treated and control groups in order…

OptiDICE: Offline Policy Optimization via Stationary Distribution Correction Estimation

Jongmin Lee, Wonseok Jeon, Byung-Jun Lee +2

We consider the offline reinforcement learning (RL) setting where the agent aims to optimize the policy solely from the data without further environment interactions. In offline RL…
