[Ikuya Yamada sur Twitter : "Is entity representation effective to improve multilingual language models?..."](doc:2022/04/ikuya_yamada_sur_twitter_is_)

> Recent studies have shown that multilingual pretrained language models can be effectively improved with cross-lingual alignment information from Wikipedia entities. However, **existing methods only exploit entity information in pretraining and do not explicitly use entities in downstream tasks**. In this study, we explore the **effectiveness of leveraging entity representations for downstream cross-lingual tasks**.
>
> the key insight is that incorporating entity representations into the input allows us to extract more language-agnostic features.

language models in mono-lingual settings

We show that using entity representations facilitates
cross-lingual transfer by providing languageindependent
features.

masked language modeling (MLM) task as well
as the masked entity prediction (MEP) task with
Wikipedia entity embeddings

> We investigate two ways of using the entity representations
in cross-lingual transfer tasks:
> 1. perform
entity linking for the input text, and append
the detected entity tokens to the input sequence.
The entity tokens are expected to provide language independent
features to the model
> 2. use the entity
[MASK] token from the MEP task as a languageindependent
feature extractor.

[1909.04120] Span Selection Pre-training for Question Answering

Tags:

> a **new pre-training task inspired by reading
comprehension** and an **effort to avoid encoding general knowledge in the transformer network itself**

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.**
