Analyzing the Forgetting Problem in the Pretrain-Finetuning of Dialogue Response Models

Tianxing He, Jun Liu, Kyunghyun Cho +4

In this work, we study how the finetuning stage in the pretrain-finetune framework changes the behavior of a pretrained neural language generator. We focus on the transformer encod…

From Data Quality to Model Quality: an Exploratory Study on Deep Learning

Tianxing He, Shengcheng Yu, Ziyuan Wang +2

Nowadays, people strive to improve the accuracy of deep learning models. However, very little work has focused on the quality of data sets. In fact, data quality determines model q…

Why gradient clipping accelerates training: A theoretical justification for adaptivity

Jingzhao Zhang, Tianxing He, Suvrit Sra +1

We provide a theoretical explanation for the effectiveness of gradient clipping in training deep neural networks. The key ingredient is a new smoothness condition derived from prac…

Exposure Bias versus Self-Recovery: Are Distortions Really Incremental for Autoregressive Text Generation?

Tianxing He, Jingzhao Zhang, Zhiming Zhou +1

Exposure bias has been regarded as a central problem for auto-regressive language models (LM). It claims that teacher forcing would cause the test-time generation to be incremental…

Negative Training for Neural Dialogue Response Generation

Tianxing He, James Glass

Although deep learning models have brought tremendous advancements to the field of open-domain dialogue response generation, recent research results have revealed that the trained…
