How do you stop BERT Overfitting?
Broadly speaking, to reduce overfitting, you can:
- increase regularization.
- reduce model complexity.
- perform early stopping.
- increase training data.
What is transfer learning BERT?
Transfer learning is a technique where a deep learning model trained on a large dataset is used to perform similar tasks on another dataset. We call such a deep learning model a pre-trained model.
Why is transfer learning important for nlp tasks?
Transfer learning is the application gained of one context to another context. So applying the knowledge from one model could help reduce training time and deep learning issues through taking existing parameters to solve “small” data problems.
Is BERT an example of transfer learning?
BERT (Devlin, et al, 2018) is perhaps the most popular NLP approach to transfer learning.
Who are the authors of understanding Bert Part 2?
This is Part 2/2 of Understanding BERT written by Miguel Romero and Francisco Ingham. Each article was written jointly by both authors. If you did not already, please refer to Part 1 to understand the Encoder architecture in depth before reading this article. Many thanks to Yannet Interian for her revision and feedback.
How are wordpiece tokens used in Bert specifics?
Tokens were tokenized using 37,000 WordPiece tokens. To generate the pre-training sequences, the authors got random samples in batches of two (50% of the time adjacent to each other) such that the combined length of the two chosen sentences was ≤512 tokens. Once each sequence was built, 15% of its tokens were masked.
How does the love token work in Bert?
In OpenAI GPT, the ‘love’ token would only have a self-attention relationship with the ‘I’ token and with itself (only backwards). In BERT the same token would have self-attention with every other token in the sentence.
What makes Bert specially effective in varied NLP tasks?
In Part 2 we are going to dive deeper into what makes BERT specially effective in varied NLP tasks, achieving, in the authors’ own words:
