Do Better ImageNet Models Transfer Better?

Finding: better ImageNet architectures tend to work better on other datasets too. Surprise: pretraining on ImageNet dataset sometimes doesn't help very much.

Simple, Scalable Adaptation for Neural Machine Translation

Fine-tuning pre-trained Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models is the dominant approach for adapting to new languages and domains. However, fine-tuning requires adapting and maintaining a separate model for each target task. Researchers from Google propose a simple yet efficient approach for adaptation in #NMT. Their proposed approach consists of injecting tiny task specific adapter layers into a pre-trained model. These lightweight adapters, with just a small fraction of the original model size, adapt the model to multiple individual tasks simultaneously.

Guess it can be applied not only in #NMT but in many other #NLP, #NLU and #NLG tasks.

Efficient multi-lingual language model fine-tuning

Most of the world’s text is not in English. To enable researchers and practitioners to build impactful solutions in their domains, understanding how our NLP architectures fare in many languages needs to be more than an afterthought.
In this post, we introduce our latest paper that studies multilingual text classification and introduces #MultiFiT, a novel method based on #ULMFiT.

MultiFiT, trained on 100 labeled documents in the target language, outperforms multi-lingual BERT. It also outperforms the cutting-edge LASER algorithm-even though LASER requires a corpus of parallel texts, and MultiFiT does not.
