摘要:

ELMo和BERT等语言模型提供了自然语言的鲁棒表示,这些表示可作为各种下游任务的语言理解组件。课程学习是一种采用结构化训练机制的方法,它已被用于计算机视觉和机器翻译,以提高模型训练速度和模型性能。虽然语言模型已被证明是自然语言处理社区的变革,但这些模型已被证明是昂贵的、能量密集的,并且对训练具有挑战性。在这项工作中,我们探讨了课程学习的影响语言模型预训练使用各种语言动机的课程和评估迁移性能的GLUE基准。尽管有各种各样的训练方法和实验,我们没有发现令人信服的证据表明,课程学习方法提高语言模型训练。

英文摘要:

Language Models like ELMo and BERT have provided robust representations of natural language, which serve as the language understanding component for a diverse range of downstream tasks.Curriculum learning is a method that employs a structured training regime instead, which has been leveraged in computer vision and machine translation to improve model training speed and model performance. While language models have proven transformational for the natural language processing community, these models have proven expensive, energy-intensive, and challenging to train. In this work, we explore the effect of curriculum learning on language model pretraining using various linguistically motivated curricula and evaluate transfer performance on the GLUE Benchmark. Despite a broad variety of training methodologies and experiments we do not find compelling evidence that curriculum learning methods improve language model training.
