微调下游任务的预培训语言模型已成为NLP的标准。最近发现，基于高级推理任务的中间培训如问题应答（QA）可以提高某些语言模型的目标任务的性能。然而，如果中间培训通常有益于各种语言模型，则不清楚。本文使用Squad-2.0 QA任务进行目标文本分类任务的中间培训，我们在使用两个基础和两个紧凑的语言模型的六个任务中尝试了八个任务和六个任务。我们的实验表明，基于QA的中间培训在不同语言模型中产生不同的传输性能，除了类似的QA任务。

We introduce a new language representation model called BERT, which stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers. Unlike recent language representation models (Peters et al., 2018a;Radford et al., 2018), BERT is designed to pretrain deep bidirectional representations from unlabeled text by jointly conditioning on both left and right context in all layers. As a result, the pre-trained BERT model can be finetuned with just one additional output layer to create state-of-the-art models for a wide range of tasks, such as question answering and language inference, without substantial taskspecific architecture modifications.BERT is conceptually simple and empirically powerful. It obtains new state-of-the-art results on eleven natural language processing tasks, including pushing the GLUE score to 80.5% (7.7% point absolute improvement), MultiNLI accuracy to 86.7% (4.6% absolute improvement), SQuAD v1.1 question answering Test F1 to 93.2 (1.5 point absolute improvement) and SQuAD v2.0 Test F1 to 83.1 (5.1 point absolute improvement).

问题答案（QA）是自然语言处理中最具挑战性的最具挑战性的问题之一（NLP）。问答（QA）系统试图为给定问题产生答案。这些答案可以从非结构化或结构化文本生成。因此，QA被认为是可以用于评估文本了解系统的重要研究区域。大量的QA研究致力于英语语言，调查最先进的技术和实现最先进的结果。然而，由于阿拉伯QA中的研究努力和缺乏大型基准数据集，在阿拉伯语问答进展中的研究努力得到了很大速度的速度。最近许多预先接受的语言模型在许多阿拉伯语NLP问题中提供了高性能。在这项工作中，我们使用四个阅读理解数据集来评估阿拉伯QA的最先进的接种变压器模型，它是阿拉伯语 - 队，ArcD，AQAD和TYDIQA-GoldP数据集。我们微调并比较了Arabertv2基础模型，ArabertV0.2大型型号和ARAElectra模型的性能。在最后，我们提供了一个分析，了解和解释某些型号获得的低绩效结果。

我们提供了从文本到文本变换器（T5）的第一次探索句子嵌入式。句子嵌入式广泛适用于语言处理任务。虽然T5在作为序列到序列映射问题的语言任务上实现令人印象深刻的性能，但目前尚不清楚如何从编码器解码器模型生成陈列嵌入的句子。我们调查三种方法提取T5句子嵌入方法：两个仅利用T5编码器，一个使用全T5编码器解码器模型。为了支持我们的调查，我们建立了一个新的句子代表转移基准，SentGlue，它将Senteval Toolkit扩展到粘合基准的九个任务。我们的编码器的型号优于Senteval和SentGlue传输任务的句子 - BERT和SIMCSE句子嵌入，包括语义文本相似性（STS）。发现从数百万到数十亿参数的缩放T5产生一致的进一步改进。最后，我们的编码器 - 解码器方法在使用句子嵌入时在STS上实现了新的最先进的。我们的模型在https://tfhub.dev/google/collections/sentence-t5/1发布。

This paper presents a new UNIfied pre-trained Language Model (UNILM) that can be fine-tuned for both natural language understanding and generation tasks. The model is pre-trained using three types of language modeling tasks: unidirectional, bidirectional, and sequence-to-sequence prediction. The unified modeling is achieved by employing a shared Transformer network and utilizing specific self-attention masks to control what context the prediction conditions on. UNILM compares favorably with BERT on the GLUE benchmark, and the SQuAD 2.0 and CoQA question answering tasks. Moreover, UNILM achieves new state-ofthe-art results on five natural language generation datasets, including improving the CNN/DailyMail abstractive summarization ROUGE-L to 40.51 (2.04 absolute improvement), the Gigaword abstractive summarization ROUGE-L to 35.75 (0.86 absolute improvement), the CoQA generative question answering F1 score to 82.5 (37.1 absolute improvement), the SQuAD question generation BLEU-4 to 22.12 (3.75 absolute improvement), and the DSTC7 document-grounded dialog response generation NIST-4 to 2.67 (human performance is 2.65). The code and pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/microsoft/unilm. * Equal contribution. † Contact person.

转移学习已通过深度审慎的语言模型广泛用于自然语言处理，例如来自变形金刚和通用句子编码器的双向编码器表示。尽管取得了巨大的成功，但语言模型应用于小型数据集时会过多地适合，并且很容易忘记与分类器进行微调时。为了解决这个忘记将深入的语言模型从一个域转移到另一个领域的问题，现有的努力探索了微调方法，以减少忘记。我们建议DeepeMotex是一种有效的顺序转移学习方法，以检测文本中的情绪。为了避免忘记问题，通过从Twitter收集的大量情绪标记的数据来仪器进行微调步骤。我们使用策划的Twitter数据集和基准数据集进行了一项实验研究。 DeepeMotex模型在测试数据集上实现多级情绪分类的精度超过91％。我们评估了微调DeepeMotex模型在分类Emoint和刺激基准数据集中的情绪时的性能。这些模型在基准数据集中的73％的实例中正确分类了情绪。所提出的DeepeMotex-Bert模型优于BI-LSTM在基准数据集上的BI-LSTM增长23％。我们还研究了微调数据集的大小对模型准确性的影响。我们的评估结果表明，通过大量情绪标记的数据进行微调提高了最终目标任务模型的鲁棒性和有效性。

Language model pre-training has proven to be useful in learning universal language representations. As a state-of-the-art language model pre-training model, BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) has achieved amazing results in many language understanding tasks. In this paper, we conduct exhaustive experiments to investigate different fine-tuning methods of BERT on text classification task and provide a general solution for BERT fine-tuning. Finally, the proposed solution obtains new state-of-the-art results on eight widely-studied text classification datasets. 1

Language model pre-training, such as BERT, has significantly improved the performances of many natural language processing tasks. However, pre-trained language models are usually computationally expensive, so it is difficult to efficiently execute them on resourcerestricted devices. To accelerate inference and reduce model size while maintaining accuracy, we first propose a novel Transformer distillation method that is specially designed for knowledge distillation (KD) of the Transformer-based models. By leveraging this new KD method, the plenty of knowledge encoded in a large "teacher" BERT can be effectively transferred to a small "student" Tiny-BERT. Then, we introduce a new two-stage learning framework for TinyBERT, which performs Transformer distillation at both the pretraining and task-specific learning stages. This framework ensures that TinyBERT can capture the general-domain as well as the task-specific knowledge in BERT. TinyBERT 41 with 4 layers is empirically effective and achieves more than 96.8% the performance of its teacher BERT BASE on GLUE benchmark, while being 7.5x smaller and 9.4x faster on inference. TinyBERT 4 is also significantly better than 4-layer state-of-the-art baselines on BERT distillation, with only ∼28% parameters and ∼31% inference time of them. Moreover, TinyBERT 6 with 6 layers performs on-par with its teacher BERT BASE .

Recently, domain-specific PLMs have been proposed to boost the task performance of specific domains (e.g., biomedical and computer science) by continuing to pre-train general PLMs with domain-specific corpora. However, this Domain-Adaptive Pre-Training (DAPT; Gururangan et al. (2020)) tends to forget the previous general knowledge acquired by general PLMs, which leads to a catastrophic forgetting phenomenon and sub-optimal performance. To alleviate this problem, we propose a new framework of General Memory Augmented Pre-trained Language Model (G-MAP), which augments the domain-specific PLM by a memory representation built from the frozen general PLM without losing any general knowledge. Specifically, we propose a new memory-augmented layer, and based on it, different augmented strategies are explored to build the memory representation and then adaptively fuse it into the domain-specific PLM. We demonstrate the effectiveness of G-MAP on various domains (biomedical and computer science publications, news, and reviews) and different kinds (text classification, QA, NER) of tasks, and the extensive results show that the proposed G-MAP can achieve SOTA results on all tasks.

Recent work attributes progress in NLP to large language models (LMs) with increased model size and large quantities of pretraining data. Despite this, current state-of-the-art LMs for Hebrew are both under-parameterized and under-trained compared to LMs in other languages. Additionally, previous work on pretrained Hebrew LMs focused on encoder-only models. While the encoder-only architecture is beneficial for classification tasks, it does not cater well for sub-word prediction tasks, such as Named Entity Recognition, when considering the morphologically rich nature of Hebrew. In this paper we argue that sequence-to-sequence generative architectures are more suitable for LLMs in the case of morphologically rich languages (MRLs) such as Hebrew. We demonstrate that by casting tasks in the Hebrew NLP pipeline as text-to-text tasks, we can leverage powerful multilingual, pretrained sequence-to-sequence models as mT5, eliminating the need for a specialized, morpheme-based, separately fine-tuned decoder. Using this approach, our experiments show substantial improvements over previously published results on existing Hebrew NLP benchmarks. These results suggest that multilingual sequence-to-sequence models present a promising building block for NLP for MRLs.

在这项工作中，我们探索如何学习专用的语言模型，旨在学习从文本文件中学习关键词的丰富表示。我们在判别和生成设置中进行预训练变压器语言模型（LMS）的不同掩蔽策略。在歧视性设定中，我们引入了一种新的预训练目标 - 关键边界，用替换（kbir）infifiling，在使用Kbir预先训练的LM进行微调时显示出在Sota上的性能（F1中高达9.26点）的大量增益关键酶提取的任务。在生成设置中，我们为BART - 键盘介绍了一个新的预训练设置，可再现与CATSeq格式中的输入文本相关的关键字，而不是Denoised原始输入。这也导致在关键词中的性能（F1 @ M）中的性能（高达4.33点），用于关键正版生成。此外，我们还微调了在命名实体识别（ner），问题应答（qa），关系提取（重新），抽象摘要和达到与SOTA的可比性表现的预训练的语言模型，表明学习丰富的代表关键词确实有利于许多其他基本的NLP任务。

Using a single model across various tasks is beneficial for training and applying deep neural sequence models. We address the problem of developing generalist representations of text that can be used to perform a range of different tasks rather than being specialised to a single application. We focus on processing short questions and developing an embedding for these questions that is useful on a diverse set of problems, such as question topic classification, equivalent question recognition, and question answering. This paper introduces QBERT, a generalist model for processing questions. With QBERT, we demonstrate how we can train a multi-task network that performs all question-related tasks and has achieved similar performance compared to its corresponding single-task models.

动机：生物医学研究人员和临床从业者的常年挑战是随着出版物和医疗票据的快速增长而待的。自然语言处理（NLP）已成为驯服信息超载的有希望的方向。特别是，大型神经语言模型通过预先绘制的文本预测，通过各种NLP应用中的BERT模型的成功示例，便于通过预先绘制的预先来进行学习。然而，用于结束任务的微调此类模型仍然具有挑战性，特别是具有小标记数据集，这些数据集是生物医学NLP的常见。结果：我们对生物医学NLP的微调稳定性进行了系统研究。我们表明FineTuning性能可能对预先预订的设置敏感，尤其是在低资源域中。大型型号有可能获得更好的性能，但越来越多的模型大小也加剧了FineTuning不稳定性。因此，我们对解决微调不稳定的技术进行了全面的探索。我们表明，这些技术可以大大提高低源生物医学NLP应用的微调性能。具体地，冻结下层有助于标准伯特基型号，而完整的衰减对于BERT-LARD和Electra型号更有效。对于低资源文本相似性任务，如生物，重新初始化顶层是最佳策略。总体而言，占星型词汇和预制促进更强大的微调模型。基于这些调查结果，我们在广泛的生物医学NLP应用方面建立了新的技术。可用性和实施​​：为了促进生物医学NLP的进展，我们释放了我们最先进的预订和微调模型：https://aka.ms/blurb。

广义文本表示是许多自然语言理解任务的基础。要充分利用不同的语料库，不可避免地需要了解它们之间的相关性。但是，许多方法忽略了相关性，并直接用于所有任务的单通道模型（粗糙的范式），这缺乏足够的理性和解释。此外，一些现有的作品通过针迹技能块（一个精细的范式）学习下游任务，这可能会导致其冗余和噪音，从而导致非理性。在这项工作中，我们首先通过三种不同的观点分析任务相关性，即数据属性，手动设计和基于模型的相关性，基于相似的任务被分组在一起。然后，我们提出了一个用粗到细范式的层次结构框架，其最底层共享了所有任务，中层级别分为不同的组，以及分配给每个任务的顶级级别。这使我们的模型可以从所有任务中学习基本的语言属性，提高相关任务的性能，并减少不相关任务的负面影响。我们在五个自然语言理解任务的13个基准数据集上进行的实验证明了我们方法的优势。

即使预训练的语言模型共享语义编码器，自然语言的理解也遭受了各种输出模式的影响。在本文中，我们提出了基于BERT框架的统一双向语言理解模型Ubert，它可以通过Biaffine网络普遍地对不同NLU任务的训练对象进行建模。具体而言，Ubert从各个方面编码先验知识，统一地构建了多个NLU任务的学习表示，这有利于增强捕获共同语义理解的能力。使用Biaffine来模拟原始文本的开始和末端位置对，可以将各种分类和提取结构转换为通用的跨度编码方法。实验表明，UBERT在7个NLU任务，14个数据集和零拍设置上实现了最先进的性能，并实现了广泛的信息提取和语言推理任务的统一。

We present SpanBERT, a pre-training method that is designed to better represent and predict spans of text. Our approach extends BERT by (1) masking contiguous random spans, rather than random tokens, and (2) training the span boundary representations to predict the entire content of the masked span, without relying on the individual token representations within it. Span-BERT consistently outperforms BERT and our better-tuned baselines, with substantial gains on span selection tasks such as question answering and coreference resolution. In particular, with the same training data and model size as BERT large , our single model obtains 94.6% and 88.7% F1 on SQuAD 1.1 and 2.0 respectively. We also achieve a new state of the art on the OntoNotes coreference resolution task (79.6% F1), strong performance on the TACRED relation extraction benchmark, and even gains on GLUE. 1 * Equal contribution. 1 Our code and pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/facebookresearch/ SpanBERT.

BERT，ROBERTA或GPT-3等复杂的基于注意力的语言模型的外观已允许在许多场景中解决高度复杂的任务。但是，当应用于特定域时，这些模型会遇到相当大的困难。诸如Twitter之类的社交网络就是这种情况，Twitter是一种不断变化的信息流，以非正式和复杂的语言编写的信息流，鉴于人类的重要作用，每个信息都需要仔细评估，即使人类也需要理解。通过自然语言处理解决该领域的任务涉及严重的挑战。当将强大的最先进的多语言模型应用于这种情况下，特定语言的细微差别用来迷失翻译。为了面对这些挑战，我们提出了\ textbf {bertuit}，这是迄今为止针对西班牙语提出的较大变压器，使用Roberta Optimization进行了230m西班牙推文的大规模数据集进行了预培训。我们的动机是提供一个强大的资源，以更好地了解西班牙Twitter，并用于专注于该社交网络的应用程序，特别强调致力于解决该平台中错误信息传播的解决方案。对Bertuit进行了多个任务评估，并与M-Bert，XLM-Roberta和XLM-T进行了比较，该任务非常具有竞争性的多语言变压器。在这种情况下，使用应用程序显示了我们方法的实用性：一种可视化骗局和分析作者群体传播虚假信息的零击方法。错误的信息在英语以外的其他语言等平台上疯狂地传播，这意味着在英语说话之外转移时，变形金刚的性能可能会受到影响。

完成知识三胞胎的任务具有广泛的下游应用程序。结构和语义信息在知识图完成中起着重要作用。与以前依靠知识图的结构或语义的方法不同，我们建议将语义共同嵌入知识三胞胎的自然语言描述及其结构信息。我们的方法通过对概率结构化损失进行微调预训练的语言模型来嵌入完成任务的知识图，其中语言模型的正向通过捕获语义和损失重建结构。我们对各种知识图基准的广泛实验证明了我们方法的最新性能。我们还表明，由于语义的更好使用，我们的方法可以显着提高低资源制度的性能。代码和数据集可在https://github.com/pkusjh/lass上找到。

Motivation: Biomedical text mining is becoming increasingly important as the number of biomedical documents rapidly grows. With the progress in natural language processing (NLP), extracting valuable information from biomedical literature has gained popularity among researchers, and deep learning has boosted the development of effective biomedical text mining models. However, directly applying the advancements in NLP to biomedical text mining often yields unsatisfactory results due to a word distribution shift from general domain corpora to biomedical corpora. In this article, we investigate how the recently introduced pre-trained language model BERT can be adapted for biomedical corpora. Results: We introduce BioBERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers for Biomedical Text Mining), which is a domain-specific language representation model pre-trained on large-scale biomedical corpora. With almost the same architecture across tasks, BioBERT largely outperforms BERT and previous state-of-the-art models in a variety of biomedical text mining tasks when pre-trained on biomedical corpora. While BERT obtains performance comparable to that of previous state-of-the-art models, BioBERT significantly outperforms them on the following three representative biomedical text mining tasks: biomedical named entity recognition (0.62% F1 score improvement), biomedical relation extraction (2.80% F1 score improvement) and biomedical question answering (12.24% MRR improvement). Our analysis results show that pre-training BERT on biomedical corpora helps it to understand complex biomedical texts.

在本文中，我们描述了我们参与Case-2022的子任务1，即与休闲新闻语料库的事件因果关系识别。我们通过在少数带注释的示例（即几次配置）上利用一组简单但互补的技术来解决因果关系识别（CRI）任务。我们遵循一种基于迅速的预测方法，用于微调LMS，其中CRI任务被视为掩盖语言建模问题（MLM）。这种方法允许LMS在MLM问题上进行本地预先训练，可以直接生成对CRI特异性提示的文本响应。我们将此方法的性能与在整个数据集中训练的集合技术进行比较。我们表现​​最佳的提交仅接受了每班256个实例，整个数据集的一小部分培训，但能够获得第二好的精度（0.82），第三好的精度（0.82）和F1得分。 （0.85）非常接近获胜者团队（0.86）的报道。
