Pretrained Transformers achieve remarkable performance when training and test data are from the same distribution. However, in real-world scenarios, the model often faces out-of-distribution (OOD) instances that can cause severe semantic shift problems at inference time. Therefore, in practice, a reliable model should identify such instances, and then either reject them during inference or pass them over to models that handle another distribution. In this paper, we develop an unsupervised OOD detection method, in which only the in-distribution (ID) data are used in training. We propose to fine-tune the Transformers with a contrastive loss, which improves the compactness of representations, such that OOD instances can be better differentiated from ID ones. These OOD instances can then be accurately detected using the Mahalanobis distance in the models penultimate layer. We experiment with comprehensive settings and achieve near-perfect OOD detection performance, outperforming baselines drastically. We further investigate the rationales behind the improvement, finding that more compact representations through margin-based contrastive learning bring the improvement. We release our code to the community for future research.

Pretrained Transformer-based models were reported to be robust in intent classification. In this work, we first point out the importance of in-domain out-of-scope detection in few-shot intent recognition tasks and then illustrate the vulnerability of
pretrained Transformer-based models against samples that are in-domain but out-of-scope (ID-OOS). We empirically show that pretrained models do not perform well on both ID-OOS examples and general out-of-scope examples, especially on fine-grained few-shot intent detection tasks. To figure out how the models mistakenly classify ID-OOS intents as in-scope intents, we further conduct analysis on confidence scores and the overlapping keywords and provide several prospective directions for future work. We release the relevant resources to facilitate future research.
Large-scale pretrained language models are surprisingly good at recalling factual knowledge presented in the training corpus. In this paper, we explore how implicit knowledge is stored in pretrained Transformers by introducing the concept of knowledg
e neurons. Given a relational fact, we propose a knowledge attribution method to identify the neurons that express the fact. We present that the activation of such knowledge neurons is highly correlated to the expression of their corresponding facts. In addition, even without fine-tuning, we can leverage knowledge neurons to explicitly edit (such as update, and erase) specific factual knowledge for pretrained Transformers.
Transformers have outperformed recurrent neural networks (RNNs) in natural language generation. This comes with a significant computational overhead, as the attention mechanism scales with a quadratic complexity in sequence length. Efficient transfor
mer variants have received increasing interest from recent works. Among them, a linear-complexity recurrent variant has proven well suited for autoregressive generation. It approximates the softmax attention with randomized or heuristic feature maps, but can be difficult to train or yield suboptimal accuracy. This work aims to convert a pretrained transformer into its efficient recurrent counterpart, improving the efficiency while retaining the accuracy. Specifically, we propose a swap-then-finetune procedure: in an off-the-shelf pretrained transformer, we replace the softmax attention with its linear-complexity recurrent alternative and then finetune. With a learned feature map, our approach provides an improved tradeoff between efficiency and accuracy over the standard transformer and other recurrent variants. We also show that the finetuning process needs lower training cost than training these recurrent variants from scratch. As many recent models for natural language tasks are increasingly dependent on large-scale pretrained transformers, this work presents a viable approach to improving inference efficiency without repeating the expensive pretraining process.
Deployed real-world machine learning applications are often subject to uncontrolled and even potentially malicious inputs. Those out-of-domain inputs can lead to unpredictable outputs and sometimes catastrophic safety issues. Prior studies on out-of-
domain detection require in-domain task labels and are limited to supervised classification scenarios. Our work tackles the problem of detecting out-of-domain samples with only unsupervised in-domain data. We utilize the latent representations of pre-trained transformers and propose a simple yet effective method to transform features across all layers to construct out-of-domain detectors efficiently. Two domain-specific fine-tuning approaches are further proposed to boost detection accuracy. Our empirical evaluations of related methods on two datasets validate that our method greatly improves out-of-domain detection ability in a more general scenario.
Detecting and fixing bugs are two of the most important yet frustrating parts of the software development cycle. Existing bug detection tools are based mainly on static analyzers, which rely on mathematical logic and symbolic reasoning about the prog
ram execution to detect common types of bugs. Fixing bugs is typically left out to the developer. In this work we introduce DeepDebug: a data-driven program repair approach which learns to detect and fix bugs in Java methods mined from real-world GitHub repositories. We frame bug-patching as a sequence-to-sequence learning task consisting of two steps: (i) denoising pretraining, and (ii) supervised finetuning on the target translation task. We show that pretraining on source code programs improves the number of patches found by 33% as compared to supervised training from scratch, while domain-adaptive pretraining from natural language to code further improves the accuracy by another 32%. We refine the standard accuracy evaluation metric into non-deletion and deletion-only fixes, and show that our best model generates 75% more non-deletion fixes than the previous state of the art. In contrast to prior work, we attain our best results when generating raw code, as opposed to working with abstracted code that tends to only benefit smaller capacity models. Finally, we observe a subtle improvement from adding syntax embeddings along with the standard positional embeddings, as well as with adding an auxiliary task to predict each tokens syntactic class. Despite focusing on Java, our approach is language agnostic, requiring only a general-purpose parser such as tree-sitter.
