exBERT: Extending Pre-trained Models with Domain-specific Vocabulary Under Constrained Training Resources - ACL Anthology

Tags:

**Focus on the Embedding of Domain-specific Vocabulary.**

> exBERT
adds a new domain-specific vocabulary and the corresponding
embedding layer, as well as a small
extension module to the original unmodified model

> a pretraining
method allowing **low-cost embedding of
domain-specific vocabulary in the context of an
existing large pre-trained model such as BERT**

> exBERT... explicitly incorporates
the new domain’s vocabulary, while being able to
**reuse the original pre-trained model’s weights as is**
to reduce required computation and training data. Specifically, exBERT extends BERT by augmenting
its embeddings for the original vocabulary with
new embeddings for the domain-specific vocabulary
via **a learned small “extension” module**. **The
output of the original and extension modules are
combined via a trainable weighted sum operation**

In a way similar to concept developed in

> [[1902.00751] Parameter-Efficient Transfer Learning for NLP](doc:2021/04/1902_00751_parameter_efficien), but not in the fine-tuning paradigm.
