We present COCO-LM, a new self-supervised learning framework that pretrains Language Models by COrrecting challenging errors and COntrasting text sequences. COCO-LM employs an auxiliary language model to mask-and-predict tokens in original text sequences. It creates more challenging pretraining inputs, where noises are sampled based on their likelihood in the auxiliary language model. COCO-LM then pretrains with two tasks: The first task, corrective language modeling, learns to correct the auxiliary models corruptions by recovering the original tokens. The second task, sequence contrastive learning, ensures that the language model generates sequence representations that are invariant to noises and transformations. In our experiments on the GLUE and SQuAD benchmarks, COCO-LM outperforms recent pretraining approaches in various pretraining settings and few-shot evaluations, with higher pretraining efficiency. Our analyses reveal that COCO-LMs advantages come from its challenging training signals, more contextualized token representations, and regularized sequence representations.

In this paper, we propose a novel pretraining-based encoder-decoder framework, which can generate the output sequence based on the input sequence in a two-stage manner. For the encoder of our model, we encode the input sequence into context represent
ations using BERT. For the decoder, there are two stages in our model, in the first stage, we use a Transformer-based decoder to generate a draft output sequence. In the second stage, we mask each word of the draft sequence and feed it to BERT, then by combining the input sequence and the draft representation generated by BERT, we use a Transformer-based decoder to predict the refined word for each masked position. To the best of our knowledge, our approach is the first method which applies the BERT into text generation tasks. As the first step in this direction, we evaluate our proposed method on the text summarization task. Experimental results show that our model achieves new state-of-the-art on both CNN/Daily Mail and New York Times datasets.
Training a model for grammatical error correction (GEC) requires a set of labeled ungrammatical / grammatical sentence pairs, but manually annotating such pairs can be expensive. Recently, the Break-It-Fix-It (BIFI) framework has demonstrated strong
results on learning to repair a broken program without any labeled examples, but this relies on a perfect critic (e.g., a compiler) that returns whether an example is valid or not, which does not exist for the GEC task. In this work, we show how to leverage a pretrained language model (LM) in defining an LM-Critic, which judges a sentence to be grammatical if the LM assigns it a higher probability than its local perturbations. We apply this LM-Critic and BIFI along with a large set of unlabeled sentences to bootstrap realistic ungrammatical / grammatical pairs for training a corrector. We evaluate our approach on GEC datasets across multiple domains (CoNLL-2014, BEA-2019, GMEG-wiki and GMEG-yahoo) and show that it outperforms existing methods in both the unsupervised setting (+7.7 F0.5) and the supervised setting (+0.5 F0.5).
Recent studies have demonstrated the efficiency of generative pretraining for English natural language understanding. In this work, we extend this approach to multiple languages and show the effectiveness of cross-lingual pretraining. We propose two
methods to learn cross-lingual language models (XLMs): one unsupervised that only relies on monolingual data, and one supervised that leverages parallel data with a new cross-lingual language model objective. We obtain state-of-the-art results on cross-lingual classification, unsupervised and supervised machine translation. On XNLI, our approach pushes the state of the art by an absolute gain of 4.9% accuracy. On unsupervised machine translation, we obtain 34.3 BLEU on WMT16 German-English, improving the previous state of the art by more than 9 BLEU. On supervised machine translation, we obtain a new state of the art of 38.5 BLEU on WMT16 Romanian-English, outperforming the previous best approach by more than 4 BLEU. Our code and pretrained models will be made publicly available.
Inductive transfer learning has greatly impacted computer vision, but existing approaches in NLP still require task-specific modifications and training from scratch. We propose Universal Language Model Fine-tuning (ULMFiT), an effective transfer lear
ning method that can be applied to any task in NLP, and introduce techniques that are key for fine-tuning a language model. Our method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art on six text classification tasks, reducing the error by 18-24% on the majority of datasets. Furthermore, with only 100 labeled examples, it matches the performance of training from scratch on 100x more data. We open-source our pretrained models and code.
In this paper, we present our approach to extracting structured information from unstructured Electronic Health Records (EHR) [2] which can be used to, for example, study adverse drug reactions in patients due to chemicals in their products. Our solu
tion uses a combination of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and a web-based annotation tool to optimize the performance of a custom Named Entity Recognition (NER) [1] model trained on a limited amount of EHR training data. This work was presented at the first Health Search and Data Mining Workshop (HSDM 2020) [26]. We showcase a combination of tools and techniques leveraging the recent advancements in NLP aimed at targeting domain shifts by applying transfer learning and language model pre-training techniques [3]. We present a comparison of our technique to the current popular approaches and show the effective increase in performance of the NER model and the reduction in time to annotate data.A key observation of the results presented is that the F1 score of model (0.734) trained with our approach with just 50% of available training data outperforms the F1 score of the blank spaCy model without language model component (0.704) trained with 100% of the available training data. We also demonstrate an annotation tool to minimize domain expert time and the manual effort required to generate such a training dataset. Further, we plan to release the annotated dataset as well as the pre-trained model to the community to further research in medical health records.
