Reinforcement Learning for Language Models

Tags:

> I was puzzled for a while as to why we need RL for LM training, rather than just using supervised instruct tuning. I now have a convincing argument, which is also reflected in a recent talk by @johnschulman2.

1st convincing argument:

> supervised learning allows only positive feedback (we show the model a series of questions and their correct answers) while **RL allows also for negative feedback** (the model is allowed to generate an answer an get a feedback saying "this is not correct")...if you as a learner are allowed to form your own hypotheses and ask the teacher if they are correct (as in the RL setting), even an adversarial teacher can no longer trick you into latching on to a wrong hypothesis.

2nd convincing argument is about knowledge-seeking queries

> we want to encourage the model to answer based on its internal knowledge, but we don't know what this internal knowledge contains. In supervised training, we present the model with a question and its correct answer, and train the model to replicate the provided answer... But if we are succeed in training the model to generalize in [the cases it doesn't know], then we essentially teaches the model to make stuff up! it actively encourages the model to "lie".

> **The performance of current days language models are not obtained by language modeling**
>
>    - [Traditional] LMs are not [grounded](tag:grounded_language_learning)
> 
> **3 conceptual steps between GPT-3 and chatGPT: Instructions, code, RLHF.** The last one is, I think, the least interesting despite getting the most attention
>
> Instruction tuning: For example, the human annotators would write something like "please summarize this text", followed by some text they got, followed by a summary they produced of this text. -> Some symbols ("summarize", "translate", "formal") are used in a consistent way together with the concept/task they denote. And they always appear in the beginning of the text. -> the act of producing a summary grounded to the human concept of "summary"
>
> code: programming language code data, and specifically data that contains both natural language instructions or descriptions (in the form of code comments) and the corresponding programming language code. This produced another very direct form of grounding. the human language describes concepts (or intents), which are then realized in the form of the corresponding programs.
>
> "[RL with Human Feedback](tag:reinforcement_learning_from_human_feedback)". This is a fancy way of saying that the model now observes two humans in a conversation, one playing the role of a user, and another playing the role of "the AI", demonstrating how the AI should respond in different situations. This clearly helps the model learn how dialogs work, and how to keep track of information across dialog states (something that is very hard to learn from just "found" data).

Domain adaptation of word embeddings through the exploitation of in-domain corpora and knowledge bases (PhD Thesis 2021)

Tags:

Thèse de Hicham El Boukkouri, univ Paris-Saclay

[Github](https://github.com/helboukkouri/phd-code)

### Goal

Given a target specialized domain, improve the quality of general-domain
word representations using in-domain corpora and/or knowledge bases

### Contributions

#### a method for specializing general-domain embeddings in a [Low-Resource](tag:nlp_low_resource_scenarios) context.

> - train static representations on the task corpus, 
> - resume the
pre-training of general-domain contextual embeddings on the same task corpus,
> - finally, combine both static and contextual representations into
one final model

#### we tackle the issue of using a general-domain vocabulary in a specialized domain

#### Evaluation of  re-training vs training from scratch on specialized corpora using a specialized vocabulary

training from scratch better, but not that much: re-training from a general model
is still appropriate as it is less expensive and leads to comparable, although
slightly lower, performance

#### Regarding subword-based tokenization systems
> we argue that they are inconvenient in practice -> CharacterBERT, a variant
of BERT that uses ELMo’s character-based system instead of WordPieces. More convenient ti use, superior robustness to misspellings

#### Ways to specialize general-domain representations using knowledge bases

a strong baseline using a simple
method relying on graph embeddings and concatenation, using only is_a relation

> both static and contextual embeddings may effectively be
specialized using this simple approach

#### Knowledge Injection Modules (KIM) that
inject the knowledge representations directly within the BERT-like models' architecture

### Notes

> our experiments focused on a single
setting (i.e. the medical domain and the English language)

> meta-embeddings, an approach that consists in combining
different sets of representations for achieving improved performance

[2012.04584] Distilling Knowledge from Reader to Retriever for Question Answering

Tags:

> a method to train an information retrieval module for downstream tasks, **without using pairs of queries and documents as annotations**.

Uses two models (standard pipeline for open-domain QA):

- the first one retrieves documents from a large source of knowledge (the retriever)
- the second one processes the support documents to solve the task (the reader).

> First the retriever selects support passages in a large knowledge
source. Then these passages are processed by the reader, along with the question, to generate an
answer

Inspired by knowledge distillation: the reader model is the teacher and the retriever is the student.

> More precisely, we use a sequence-to-sequence model as the reader, and use
the attention activations over the input documents as synthetic labels to train the retriever. 
> (**train the retriever by learning to approximate the attention score of the reader**)

[1909.01259] Neural Attentive Bag-of-Entities Model for Text Classification

Tags:

A model that performs **text classification using entities in a knowledge base**.

> Entities provide unambiguous and relevant semantic signals that are beneficial for capturing semantics in texts. We combine **simple high-recall entity detection based on a dictionary** (word->list of entities), to detect entities in a document, with a novel neural **attention mechanism that enables the model to focus on a small number of unambiguous and relevant entities**.

2 steps:

1. Entity detection
2. Classification using the detected entities (+text) as inputs

Regarding entity linking, a local model which uses cosine
similarity between the embedding of the target
entity and the word-based representation of
the document to capture the relevance of an entity
given a document.

Embeddings from the KB: computed using [#Wikipedia2Vec](tag:wikipedia2vec) (similar words and entities
close to one another in a unified vector space)

Model using attention, with 2 features :

- cosine similarity between the
embedding of the entity and the word based
representation of the document
- the probability that the entity
name refers to the entity in KB.

Somewhat [related](doc:2020/01/investigating_entity_knowledge_)

### Conclusion:

>a neural
network model that performs text classification using
entities in Wikipedia. We combined simple
dictionary-based entity detection with a neural attention
mechanism to enable the model to focus
on a small number of unambiguous and relevant
entities in a document.

> a **new pre-training task inspired by reading

Current transformer architectures store general knowledge -> large models, long pre-training time. Better to offload the requirement of general knowledge to a sparsely activated network.

"Span selection" as an additional auxiliary task: the query is a sentence drawn from a corpus
with a term replaced with a special token: [BLANK]. The term replaced by the blank is the answer term. The passage is
relevant as determined by a BM25 search, and answer-bearing (containing the answer
term). Unlike BERT’s cloze task, where the answer must be drawn from the model itself, the answer is found in a passage
using language understanding.

> **We hope to progress to a model of general purpose language modeling that uses an indexed long
term memory to retrieve world knowledge, rather than holding it in the densely activated transformer encoder layers.**

Most similar work: [Bordes et al.](http://127.0.0.1:8080/semanlink/doc/2019/08/learning_structured_embeddings_) (2011)

Contributions:

1. new neural tensor
network (**NTN**) suitable for reasoning over relationships between two entities. Generalizes several previous neural network models and provides a more
powerful way to model relational information than a standard neural network layer.
2. a new way to represent entities in knowledge bases, as the
average of  their constituting word vectorss, allowing the sharing of statistical strength between the words describing
each entity (e.g., Bank of China and China).
3. incorporation of word vectors which are trained on large unlabeled text

> We **learn to modify word representations
via grounding in world knowledge**. This essentially allows us to analyze word embeddings and
query them for specific relations. Furthermore, the resulting vectors could be used in other tasks
such as named entity recognition or relation classification in natural language

**Makes use of entity name**: NTN
first learns word vectors from an auxiliary news corpus, and
then initializes the representation of each entity by averaging
the vectors of words contained in its name. For example,
**the embedding of AlfredHitchcock is initialized by the
average word vectors of “alfred” and “hitchcock”**... This kind of methods model textual information
separately from KG facts, and hence fail to leverage
interactions between them.[src](doc:2019/05/knowledge_graph_embedding_a_su)

("random walk": a generative model for language). Under the assumptions of this model,  there
exists a linear relationship between the vector of a
word w and the vectors of the words in its contexts (It is not the average of the words in w's context, but in a given corpus the matrix of the linear relationship does not depend on w. It can be estimated, and so we can compute the embedding of a word from the contexts it belongs to)

> the old
and the new-style NLP are not diametrically
opposed: just as it is possible (and useful!) to
incorporate neural-network features into a CRF,
CRFs have influenced some of the best deep
learning models for sequence labelling

This blog post go through the ways of doing NER, starting with CRF:

- When you develop a CRF,
a lot of time goes into finding feature functions (Does a word start with a capital? Is it uppercase? Is it a digit?...) 
- Pb: semantic similarity between words. 
- Gazetteers: lists with names of people, locations and organizations that are known in advance.
- feed Word Embeddings to a CRF: one way is to cluster a set
of word embeddings by distributional similarity, and
provide the CRF with the cluster IDs of a token and its
context words.
- Use word and character based embeddings
- LSTM not good enough -> biLSTM
- **biLSTM predict all labels independently of each other -> add a CRF layer** which outputs a matrix of transition scores between two states: dynamic programming can help find the optimal tag sequence for the sentence

Network representation learning (NRL): Approaches that automatically learn to encode network structure into low-dimensional embeddings, using techniques based on deep learning and nonlinear dimensionality reduction

**Goal of representation learning for networks: efficient task-independant feature learning for ML in networks.** But it's hard. DL toolbox are designed for single sequences or grids (for instance CNN for images, RNN or word2vec are fixed size), but networks are far more complex!

from the abstract:

> In this tutorial, we will cover key advancements in NRL over the last decade, with an emphasis on fundamental advancements made in the last two years. We will discuss classic matrix factorization-based methods (e.g., Laplacian eigenmaps), random-walk based algorithms (e.g., DeepWalk and node2vec), as well as very recent advancements in graph convolutional networks (GCNs). We will cover methods to embed individual nodes (see [node embeddings](/tag/node_embeddings)) as well as approaches to embed entire (sub)graphs, and in doing so, we will present a unified framework for NRL.

Translating Embeddings for Modeling Multi-relational Data (2013)

Tags:

This work focuses on modeling multi-relational
data from KBs (Wordnet and Freebase in this paper), with the goal of providing an efficient
tool to complete them by automatically adding new facts, without requiring extra knowledge.

**Embedding entities and relationships of multirelational
data**: a method which **models relationships by interpreting them as translations** operating on the
low-dimensional embeddings of the entities. Motivation:
- hierarchical relationships are extremely common in KBs and translations are the natural transformations for representing them.
- cf. word embeddings and the “capital of” relationship between countries and cities, which are (coincidentally rather than willingly) represented by the model as translations in the embedding space. This suggests that there may exist embedding spaces in which 1-to-1 relationships between entities of different types may, as well, be represented by translations. The intention of our model is to enforce such a structure of the embedding space.

Semantic hashing (2008) - Ruslan Salakhutdinov, Geoffrey Hinton

Tags:

> We show how to learn a deep graphical model of the word-count vectors obtained from a
large set of documents. The values of the latent variables in the deepest layer are easy to
infer and give a much better representation of each document than Latent Semantic Analysis.
When the deepest layer is forced to use a small number of binary variables (e.g. 32),
the graphical model performs ‘‘semantic hashing”: Documents are mapped to memory
addresses in such a way that semantically similar documents are located at nearby
addresses. Documents similar to a query document can then be found by simply accessing
all the addresses that differ by only a few bits from the address of the query document. This
way of extending the efficiency of hash-coding to approximate matching is much faster
than locality sensitive hashing, which is the fastest current method. By using semantic
hashing to filter the documents given to TF-IDF, we achieve higher accuracy than applying
TF-IDF to the entire document set.

Indexing is implemented in the following manner: a document is mapped to a word-count vector and then this vector is passed through a [#Restricted Boltzmann Machine](/tag/restricted_boltzmann_machine) autoencoder and encoded to 32-bit address.

Quick review on Text Clustering and Text Similarity Approaches

Tags:

Author: Maali Mnasri (PhD @ CEA)

First transform text units to vectors? not always (eg. sentence similarity task using lexical word alignment). But vectors are efficient to process, and benefit from existing clustering algorithms such as k-means.

Sentence level or document level? Sentence clustering to summarise large documents.

Thematic clustering vs Semantic clustering: depends on the similarity measure.

Text similarity measures:

- Cosine similarity of tf-idf (suitable to produce thematic clusters)
- Knowledge-based Measures (wordNet) (quantify semantic relatedness of words),
- Word embedings

Examples, sample code:

- using wordnet with NLTK, and the formula to compute sentence similarities from word similarities.
- computing similarities between docs using gensim/word2vec

Which clustering algorithm?

- when we have an approximation of the clusters number, and when the similarity measure is not expensive in terms of computation time, clustering algo are suitable and fast. Sample code of k-means clustering using tf-idf vectors with scikit-learn
- Hierarchical clustering algorithms
    - don't need to give the number of clusters
    - but time consuming (calculate a similarity matrix for the sentences) 
- for voluminous data, use an incremental clustering algorithm: sentences are processed one at a time ; each new sentence is compared to each of the already formed clusters.

Attention and Memory in Deep Learning and NLP – WildML

Tags:

cf. visual attention

In standard [#seq2seq](/tag/sequence_to_sequence_learning) NMT, the decoder is supposed to generate a translation solely based on the last hidden state of the encoder - which therefore must capture everything from the source sentence (it must be a sentence embedding). Not good. Hence the attention mechanism.

> we allow the decoder to “attend” to different parts of the source sentence at each step of the output generation. Importantly, we let the model learn what to attend to based on the input sentence and what it has produced so far

> each decoder output word now depends on a weighted combination of all the input states, not just the last state.

Possible to interpret what the model is doing by looking at the Attention weight matrix

Cost: We need to calculate an attention value for each combination of input and output word (-> attention is a bit of a misnomer: we look at everything in details before deciding what to focus on)

> attention mechanism is simply giving the network access to its internal memory, which is the hidden state of the encoder

> Unlike typical memory, the memory access mechanism here is soft, which means that the network retrieves a weighted combination of all memory locations, not a value from a single discrete location
