Semanlink - Unsupervised machine learning AND NLP tasks / problems

> 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".

>
> 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.

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).

> for text classification cold start (when labeled

classification task**, between the pretraining

> The underlying
intuition is that inter-training the model

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

> 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)

in its parameters in an inexplicable way, which

Training BERT-base-uncased on English Wikipedia and then fine-tuned and evaluating it
on an entity linking (EL) benchmark (EL implemented as a token classification over the entity vocabulary)

> BERT+Entity is a straightforward extension on top
of BERT, i.e. we initialize BERT with the publicly
available weights from the BERT-base-uncased
model and add an output classification layer on
top of the architecture. Given a contextualized token,
the classifier computes the probability of an
entity link for each entry in the entity vocabulary.

Can BERT’s architecture learn all entity
linking steps jointly? To answer:

> an extreme
simplification of the **entity linking setup that
works surprisingly well**: simply cast it as **a
per token classification over the entire entity
vocabulary** (over 700K classes in our case).

> the model
is the first that performs entity linking without any
pipeline or any heuristics, compared to all prior
approaches. We found that with our approach we
can learn additional entity knowledge in BERT that

required entity knowledge**.

> 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.**

**how to accelerate contextual representation learning**.

> Contextual representation models are difficult to train due to the large parameter sizes and high computational complexity

> We find that the softmax layer (the output layer) causes significant inefficiency due to the large vocabulary size.
Therefore, we redesign the learning objectiv.
> Specifically, the proposed approach bypasses the softmax layer by performing language modeling with dimension reduction, and allows the models to leverage pre-trained word embeddings.
Our framework reduces the time spent on the output layer to a negligible level, eliminates almost all the trainable parameters of the softmax layer and performs language modeling without truncating the vocabulary.
When applied to ELMo, our method achieves a 4 times speedup and eliminates 80% trainable parameters while achieving competitive performance on downstream tasks.

**decouples learning contexts and words**

> Instead of using
a softmax layer to predict the distribution of the
missing word, we utilize and extend the SEMFIT
layer (Kumar and Tsvetkov, 2018) to **predict the
embedding of the missing word**.

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.
