GeDi: Generative Discriminator Guided Sequence Generation

Ben Krause, Akhilesh Deepak Gotmare, Bryan McCann +4

While large-scale language models (LMs) are able to imitate the distribution of natural language well enough to generate realistic text, it is difficult to control which regions of…

Unsupervised Paraphrasing with Pretrained Language Models

Tong Niu, Semih Yavuz, Yingbo Zhou +3

Paraphrase generation has benefited extensively from recent progress in the designing of training objectives and model architectures. However, previous explorations have largely fo…

Char2Subword: Extending the Subword Embedding Space Using Robust Character Compositionality

Gustavo Aguilar, Bryan McCann, Tong Niu +3

Byte-pair encoding (BPE) is a ubiquitous algorithm in the subword tokenization process of language models as it provides multiple benefits. However, this process is solely based on…

Improving out-of-distribution generalization via multi-task self-supervised pretraining

Isabela Albuquerque, Nikhil Naik, Junnan Li +2

Self-supervised feature representations have been shown to be useful for supervised classification, few-shot learning, and adversarial robustness. We show that features obtained us…
