Semanlink - NLP tasks / problems AND NLP: use cases

> 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".

> [ChatGPT]"Context length" and "number of tokens" are related concepts, but they refer to slightly different things. The number of tokens refers to the total number of individual units of meaning (e.g. words or subwords) in a given input text.
>
> Context length, on the other hand, refers to the number of tokens used as a context for generating a response. The context is the information the model uses to generate a response. So, context length is the number of tokens that the model will take into account to generate a response.
>
> In other words, the context length is a subset of the number of tokens, it's the number of tokens used to generate the response. **It's usually a sliding window of tokens that goes back and forth on the input text**. The larger the context length, the more information the model has to work with, which can lead to more accurate and relevant responses but also requires more computational resources and can make the model slower.

Some remarks on Large Language Models

Tags:

> There turned out to be a phase shift somewhere between 60B parameters and 175B parameters, that made language models super impressive.

> **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).

> To train a Two-Tower model, Google uses **pairs of relevant items**. Each pair consists of a query document and a candidate document. Documents contain arbitrary customer-defined features including text, numeric, and categorical features. After training, the Two-Tower built-in algorithm exports two TensorFlow SavedModels—a query encoder and a candidate encoder... Given a query item, Matching Engine uses the query encoder to generate a query embedding, and uses the index to find similar candidate embeddings. Matching Engine uses the candidate encoder to index all the items and serve them by using an approximate nearest neighbor solution.

[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**)

Learning to Tag OOV Tokens by Integrating Contextual Representation and Background Knowledge (ACL Anthology 2020)

Tags:

Aim to leverage both contextual representation of input text (deep LMs)  and  knowledge derived
from curated KBs ([Wordnet](tag:wordnet)) to improve [slot tagging](tag:slot_tagging) in the presence of [out-of-vocab](tag:oov) words ([few-shot scenario](tag:few_shot_learning))

Method:

1. retrieve potentially relevant KB entities and
encode them into distributed representations that
describe global graph-structured information
2. BERT encoder
layer to capture context-aware representations of
the sequence and attend to the KB embeddings
using multi-level graph attention
3. integrate
BERT embeddings and the KB embeddings
to predict the slot type

Contributions:

1. feasibility of applying lexical ontology
to facilitate recognizing OOV words. First to consider the large-scale background
knowledge for enhancing context-aware
slot tagging models.
2. a knowledge integration mechanism that uses multi-level graph
attention to model explicit lexical relations.
3.experiments on two benchmark datasets

> our method makes a notable difference in a
scenario where samples are linguistically diverse,
and large vocab exists.

(Better improvements when using RNN than BERT, because BERT already contains a lot of background knowledge)

Deep Chit-Chat: deep learning for chatbots (EMNLP 2018 Tutorial)

Tags:

by Dr Wei Wu (Microsoft Xiaolce - chatbot with 200 millions users in China) and Dr Rui Yan (Peking Univ)

- Chit-chat (casual, non goal oriented) open-domain. Must be relevant to the context and diverse (informative) to be engaging.
- why creating a chat? to prove an AI can speak like a human, commercial reasons, link to services.

Task oriented vs non task oriented: this tutorial is about the second one.

Retrieval based vs generation based.

Basic knowledge of DL for chatbots:

- word embeddings
- sentence embeddings (CNN, RNN)
- dialogue modeling: seq-to-seq with attention

Response selection for retrieval based chatbots:

- single turn response selection (slides 37-57)
    - framework 1: matching with seq embeddings
    - framework 2: matching with message-response interaction (46)
    - extension of 1: KnowledgeMatching with External Knowledge (53)
    - extension of 2: RepresentationsMatching with Multiple Levels of Representations (54)
    - insights from comparison between 1 and 2 (57)
- multi turn response selection (62)
    - context is now: mess + history
    - again, 2 frameworks

Emerging directions (79):

- matching with better representations
    - Self-Attention (82)
    - fusing multiple types of repr. But how to fuse matters (83)
    - pre-training

Learning a matching model for response selection (84)

Generation based models for chatbots:

- single turn generarion (89)
    - Basic generation model
        - seq2seq
        - Attention
        - Bi-directional modeling
- multi turn generation
    - Contexts are important
    - Context sensitive models
    - Hierarchical context modeling
    - Latent variable modeling
    - Hierarchical memory networks

Diversity in conversations (99)

Evaluating the Impact of Word Embeddings on Similarity Scoring in Practical Information Retrieval (2017)

Tags:

> Transferring the success of word embeddings to Information Retrieval (IR) task is currently an active research topic. While embedding-based retrieval models could tackle the vocabulary mismatch problem by making use of the embedding’s inherent similarity between distinct words, most of them struggle to compete with the prevalent strong baselines such as TF-IDF and BM25.

Considering a practical ad-hoc IR task composed of two steps, matching and scoring, compares the performance of several techniques that leverage word embeddings in the retrieval models to compute the similarity between the query and the documents (namely word centroid similarity, paragraph vectors, Word Mover’s distance, as well as a novel inverse document frequency (IDF) re-weighted word centroid similarity).

> We confirm that word embeddings can be successfully employed in a practical information retrieval setting. The proposed cosine similarity of IDF re-weighted, aggregated word vectors is competitive to the TF-IDF baseline.
