Introduction to Transformers: an NLP Perspective
arXiv:2311. 17633v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transformers have dominated empirical machine learning models of natural language processing.
We’ve obtained state-of-the-art results on a suite of diverse language tasks with a scalable, task-agnostic system, which we’re also releasing. Our approach is a combination of two existing ideas: transformers and unsupervised pre-training.
arXiv:2311. 17633v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transformers have dominated empirical machine learning models of natural language processing.
We’ve trained a large-scale unsupervised language model which generates coherent paragraphs of text, achieves state-of-the-art performance on many language modeling benchmarks, and performs rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization—all without task-specific training.
