[2203.10581] Cluster & Tune: Boost Cold Start Performance in Text Classification

Tags:

[Leshem Choshen sur Twitter : "Labelled data is scarce, what can we do?..."](doc:2022/04/leshem_choshen_sur_twitter_l)

> **One-sentence Summary**: we suggest adding an unsupervised intermediate classification step, before finetunning and after pretraining BERT, and show it improves performance for data-constrained cases.

> for text classification cold start (when labeled
data is scarce), **add an intermediate unsupervised
classification task**, between the pretraining
and fine-tuning phases:
> perform clustering and
train the pre-trained model on predicting the
cluster labels.

> this additional
classification phase can significantly improve
performance, mainly for **topical classification**
tasks

> we use an efficient clustering technique,
that relies on simple Bag Of Words (BOW)
representations, to partition the unlabeled training
data into relatively homogeneous clusters of text
instances.
>
> Next, we treat these clusters as labeled
data for an intermediate text classification task, and
train the pre-trained model – with or without additional
MLM pretraining – with respect to this
multi-class problem, prior to the final fine-tuning
over the actual target-task labels

> The underlying
intuition is that inter-training the model
over a related text classification task would be more
beneficial compared to MLM inter-training, which
focuses on different textual entities, namely predicting
the identity of a single token.
