The Best NLP Papers From ICLR 2020
I went through 687 papers that were accepted to ICLR 2020 virtual conference (out of 2594 submitted - up 63% since 2019!) and identified 9 papers with the potential to advance the use of deep learning NLP models in everyday use cases. Here are the papers found and why they matter. ELECTRA: Pre-training Text Encoders as Discriminators Rather Than Generators Kevin … [Read more...] about The Best NLP Papers From ICLR 2020
What Are Major NLP Achievements & Papers From 2019?
UPDATE: We’ve also summarized the top 2020 NLP research papers. In 2018 we saw a number of landmark research breakthroughs in the field of natural language processing (NLP). The introduction of transfer learning and pretrained language models in NLP pushed forward the limits of language understanding and generation. These also dominated NLP progress this … [Read more...] about What Are Major NLP Achievements & Papers From 2019?
Top NLP Research Papers With Business Applications From ACL 2019
This year’s annual meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2019) was bigger than ever. Although the conference received 75% more submissions than last year, the quality of the research papers remained high, and so the acceptance rates are almost the same. It is becoming more and more challenging to keep track of the latest research advances in your area … [Read more...] about Top NLP Research Papers With Business Applications From ACL 2019
XLNet, ERNIE 2.0, And RoBERTa: What You Need To Know About New 2019 Transformer Models
Large pretrained language models are definitely the main trend of the latest research advances in natural language processing (NLP). While lots of AI experts agree with Anna Rogers’s statement that getting state-of-the-art results with just more data and computing power is not research news, other NLP opinion leaders also see some positive moments in the current trend. For … [Read more...] about XLNet, ERNIE 2.0, And RoBERTa: What You Need To Know About New 2019 Transformer Models
Novel Methods For Text Generation Using Adversarial Learning & Autoencoders
Just two years ago, text generation models were so unreliable that you needed to generate hundreds of samples in hopes of finding even one plausible sentence. Nowadays, OpenAI's pre-trained language model can generate relatively coherent news articles given only two sentence of context. Other approaches like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational … [Read more...] about Novel Methods For Text Generation Using Adversarial Learning & Autoencoders
State-Of-The-Art Methods For Neural Machine Translation & Multilingual Tasks
The quality of machine translation produced by state-of-the-art models is already quite high and often requires only minor corrections from professional human translators. This is especially true for high-resource language pairs like English-German and English-French. So, the main focus of recent research studies in machine translation was on improving system performance for … [Read more...] about State-Of-The-Art Methods For Neural Machine Translation & Multilingual Tasks
We Summarized 14 NLP Research Breakthroughs You Can Apply To Your Business
UPDATE: We've also summarized the top 2019 and top 2020 NLP research papers. Language understanding is a challenge for computers. Subtle nuances of communication that human toddlers can understand still confuse the most powerful machines. Even though advanced techniques like deep learning can detect and replicate complex language patterns, machine learning models still lack … [Read more...] about We Summarized 14 NLP Research Breakthroughs You Can Apply To Your Business
