CCNet: Extracting High Quality Monolingual Datasets from Web Crawl Data
Guillaume Wenzek, Marie-Anne Lachaux, Alexis Conneau +4
Pre-training text representations have led to significant improvements in many areas of natural language processing. The quality of these models benefits greatly from the size of t…
Unsupervised Cross-lingual Representation Learning at Scale
Alexis Conneau, Kartikay Khandelwal, Naman Goyal +7
This paper shows that pretraining multilingual language models at scale leads to significant performance gains for a wide range of cross-lingual transfer tasks. We train a Transfor…
Emerging Cross-lingual Structure in Pretrained Language Models
Shijie Wu, Alexis Conneau, Haoran Li +2
We study the problem of multilingual masked language modeling, i.e. the training of a single model on concatenated text from multiple languages, and present a detailed study of sev…
Cross-lingual Language Model Pretraining
Guillaume Lample, Alexis Conneau
Recent studies have demonstrated the efficiency of generative pretraining for English natural language understanding. In this work, we extend this approach to multiple languages an…
