We investigate multi-scale transformer language models that learn representations of text at multiple scales, and present three different architectures that have an inductive bias to handle the hierarchical nature of language. Experiments on large-scale language modeling benchmarks empirically demonstrate favorable likelihood vs memory footprint trade-offs, e.g. we show that it is possible to train a hierarchical variant with 30 layers that has 23% smaller memory footprint and better perplexity, compared to a vanilla transformer with less than half the number of layers, on the Toronto BookCorpus. We analyze the advantages of learned representations at multiple scales in terms of memory footprint, compute time, and perplexity, which are particularly appealing given the quadratic scaling of transformers run time and memory usage with respect to sequence length.

Although n-gram language models (LMs) have been outperformed by the state-of-the-art neural LMs, they are still widely used in speech recognition due to its high efficiency in inference. In this paper, we demonstrate that n-gram LM can be improved by
neural LMs through a text generation based data augmentation method. In contrast to previous approaches, we employ a large-scale general domain pre-training followed by in-domain fine-tuning strategy to construct deep Transformer based neural LMs. Large amount of in-domain text data is generated with the well trained deep Transformer to construct new n-gram LMs, which are then interpolated with baseline n-gram systems. Empirical studies on different speech recognition tasks show that the proposed approach can effectively improve recognition accuracy. In particular, our proposed approach brings significant relative word error rate reduction up to 6.0% for domains with limited in-domain data.
Transformer-based language models pre-trained on large amounts of text data have proven remarkably successful in learning generic transferable linguistic representations. Here we study whether structural guidance leads to more human-like systematic l
inguistic generalization in Transformer language models without resorting to pre-training on very large amounts of data. We explore two general ideas. The Generative Parsing idea jointly models the incremental parse and word sequence as part of the same sequence modeling task. The Structural Scaffold idea guides the language models representation via additional structure loss that separately predicts the incremental constituency parse. We train the proposed models along with a vanilla Transformer language model baseline on a 14 million-token and a 46 million-token subset of the BLLIP dataset, and evaluate models syntactic generalization performances on SG Test Suites and sized BLiMP. Experiment results across two benchmarks suggest converging evidence that generative structural supervisions can induce more robust and humanlike linguistic generalization in Transformer language models without the need for data intensive pre-training.
Pre-trained large-scale language models have increasingly demonstrated high accuracy on many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, the limited weight storage and computational speed on hardware platforms have impeded the popularity of pre
-trained models, especially in the era of edge computing. In this paper, we seek to find the best model structure of BERT for a given computation size to match specific devices. We propose the first compiler-aware neural architecture optimization framework. Our framework can guarantee the identified model to meet both resource and real-time specifications of mobile devices, thus achieving real-time execution of large transformer-based models like BERT variants. We evaluate our model on several NLP tasks, achieving competitive results on well-known benchmarks with lower latency on mobile devices. Specifically, our model is 5.2x faster on CPU and 4.1x faster on GPU with 0.5-2% accuracy loss compared with BERT-base. Our overall framework achieves up to 7.8x speedup compared with TensorFlow-Lite with only minor accuracy loss.
We probe pre-trained transformer language models for bridging inference. We first investigate individual attention heads in BERT and observe that attention heads at higher layers prominently focus on bridging relations in-comparison with the lower an
d middle layers, also, few specific attention heads concentrate consistently on bridging. More importantly, we consider language models as a whole in our second approach where bridging anaphora resolution is formulated as a masked token prediction task (Of-Cloze test). Our formulation produces optimistic results without any fine-tuning, which indicates that pre-trained language models substantially capture bridging inference. Our further investigation shows that the distance between anaphor-antecedent and the context provided to language models play an important role in the inference.
Detecting hate speech, especially in low-resource languages, is a non-trivial challenge. To tackle this, we developed a tailored architecture based on frozen, pre-trained Transformers to examine cross-lingual zero-shot and few-shot learning, in addit
ion to uni-lingual learning, on the HatEval challenge data set. With our novel attention-based classification block AXEL, we demonstrate highly competitive results on the English and Spanish subsets. We also re-sample the English subset, enabling additional, meaningful comparisons in the future.
