 Jacob Eisenstein: An Introduction To Natural Language Processing

Computer science
Natural language processing draws on several aspects of “core”
computer science:
I Natural language can be modeled using formal language
theory, building on similar theoretical tools that are used to
analyze programming languages.
I Natural language data requires efficient algorithms, which can
be analyzed in terms of time and space complexity.
I These algorithms must be implemented on diverse
architectures, including distributed systems, GPUs, and mobile
devices. Jacob Eisenstein: An Introduction To Natural Language Processing

This course will draw on basic tools from complexity theory,4 and
Linguistics
[?]

will highlight connections to other areas of computer science.

Where is Linguistics?
The4 goal of linguistics is understand how language works —
Michael Sipser (2012). Introduction to the Theory of Computation.
possibly using computational techniques. For example:
Cengage Learning.
I What are the major language families and how are they
related to each other?
I What are the principles that determine whether a sentence is
grammatical? Can we identify shared principles that explain
grammaticality across many di↵erent kinds of languages?
I How and why do languages change?
I How do people learn their first language? What, if anything,
is di↵erent when they learner their second language?

Natural language processing leverages insights from linguistics

to build language technology.

The Big Question

14
Learning and knowledge

Given the dominance of machine learning, what role is left for

linguistic theory? Some possibilities:
I The NLP stack: A series of systems transforms text from raw
strings into progressively higher level linguistic representations.
I Preprocessing: The base representation for machine learning
is a set of linguistically meaningful features.
I Model design: The architecture of the learning algorithm is
designed to reflect linguistic principles.
I Nothing: Language is just another kind of data, and
language processing is just another learning problem.

Prediction Tasks in Ascending Order of Difficulty types

• Classification (binary or n-ary) of single events: e.g. text categorization

• Classification (binary or n-ary) of sequences of events, sequence labeling : e.g. part-of-

speech tagging problems, named entity tagging problems

• Prediction of general structures (sequences, relations, trees, graphs): e.g. parsing, trans-
lation, summarization

2.1.4 Data
Chomsky: Data vs. Linguistic Theory
Chomsky’s furious argument against data-driven models

1. Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

2. Furiously sleep ideas green colorless.

It is fair to assume that neither sentence (1) nor (2) [. . . ] has ever occurred in an English dis-
course. Hence, in any statistical model for grammaticalness, these sentences will be ruled out
on identical grounds as equally "remote" from English. Yet (1), though nonsensical, is gram-
matical, while (2) is not grammatical. — Chomsky, 1957

A (too) simple causal data-driven Markov word-bigram model

n
count(w1 , w2 )
p(w1 . . . wn ) = p(w1 ) p(wi |wi−1 ) P (w2 |w1 ) =
Y

i=2
count(w1 )

16
p(furiously|sleep) = p(sleep|furiously) = 0 if neither the bigram “sleep furiously” nor “furiously
sleep” occurs in the data.

Learn latent (hidden) “part-of-speech classes” c ∈ C in a way that the probability of observed
texts gets high!

≈ 200′ 000
p(Furiously sleep ideas green colorless.)

An empirical rebuttal [?] of Chomsky

The ungrammatical sentence is about 200’000 times less probable than the semantically prob-
lematic one – definitely no “identical grounds to be ruled out”. (newspaper corpus with
|C| = 16)

Generative Pre-Training (GPT): Deep Transformer Architectures as Massive “Latent” Parametriza-

tions for Causal Language Models

• Why restrict the hidden parameters to 16? Let’s have millions or billions of them. . .

• Why restrict the latent variable connections to neighbor words? Let’s connect any word
with any other word (aka. self-attention) . . .

n
p(w1 , . . . , wn ) = p(wi |w1 , . . . , wi−1 )
Y

i=1

p(wi |w1 , . . . , wi−1 ) = transformer(w1 , . . . , wi−1 )

Big question: Is raw text enough?

2.1.5 Annotation
Empirical Turn in (Computational) Linguistics

• Corpora = Digital collections of texts

• Annotated corpora (datasets) = text data interpreted by humans

XOR Task
∀: XOR Task with Nominal Categories
XOR
A simple data set

a b a XOR b
True True False
True False True
False True True
False False False

True if a ̸= b

a XOR b = ∀a, b ∈ {True, False}
False if a = b

Interpretability/Explainability

• Question: Why does a XOR b result in True?

• The declarative definition answers the question trivially.

N: XOR Task as a Numeric Calculation

a XOR b = (a − b)(b − a) ∀a, b ∈ {0, 1}

Interpretability

• Numeric encoding of the truth values

• A numeric score is calculated, which in turn can be interpreted as a truth value.

• Many other arithmetizations are conceivable, e.g. a XOR b = (a − b)2

Ingredients and recipe for learning the XOR function

1. Random: Initialize all violet edge weights randomly with numbers!

2. Predictions: Calculate the (incorrect) output for an input!

3. Error quantification: Quantify the error! (Loss Function)

4. Optimization: Correct weights slightly according to their share of the error! (Backpropa-
gation)

5. Iteration: Start again at (2)

Principle: learn from mistakes thanks to numerical optimization!

• prediction: y = p(1 XOR 1 = True) = 58%: Randomly set weights make mistakes!

• Continuous Loss Function quantifies errors (binary Logloss)

Stochastic gradient methods use partial derivation (∂). Change edge weights slightly to make
mistakes smaller. New probability of y after a training step: 54%.

Interpretability

• Why does a neural XOR output the correct result?

• Because it has learned from a random configuration iteratively to output the right one.

have studied the changes in hidden state representations over time and noticed some interpretable
patterns but also significant noise. In this work, we present LSTMV IS, a visual analysis tool for recurrent neural networks with a
focus on understanding these hidden state dynamics. The tool allows users to select a hypothesis input range to focus on local state
changes, to match these states changes to similar patterns in a large data set, and to align these results with structural annotations
from their domain. We show several use cases of the tool for analyzing specific hidden state properties on dataset containing nesting,
phrase structure, and chord progressions, and demonstrate how the tool can be used to isolate patterns for further statistical analysis.
We characterize the domain, the different stakeholders, and their goals and tasks. Long-term usage data after putting the tool online
revealed great interest in the machine learning community.

Important Questions Regarding AI and NLP
• Can AI methods learn any task from scratch (raw data) without explicit intermediate lin-
guistic structures? End-to-end learning paradigm
• What is the efficiency of such learning methods? Data efficiency, label efficiency, parame-
ter efficiency, compute efficiency
• Which tasks on raw data are optimal for foundational models that quickly learn to solve
specialized downstream tasks (transfer learning)? Prompting (zero-shot, few-shot) vs.
fine-tuning . . .

Conclusion
• Machine learning techniques are better for complex, broad and “vague” problems than
manual modeling.
• Targeted training: Appropriate numerical representation allows numerical optimization
(learning from mistakes).
• End-to-end systems in which input and output are fully connected and optimizable,
avoid the problem of uncorrectable consequential errors.
• Representation learning: The optimization process learns appropriate numerical repre-
sentations for the input and “latent” levels!
• The internal numerical representations are difficult to interpret (black box problem).

random noise. This noise might arise from intrinsically stochastic (i.e. random) pro-
cesses such as radioactive decay but more typically is due to there being sources of

later, this involves implicitly trying to discover the underlying function sin(2πx).
This is intrinsically a difficult problem as we have to generalize from a finite data

For example, if your system predicts that the median housing price in the first district is
$158,400, then ŷ(1) = h(x(1)) = 158,400. The prediction error for this district is ŷ(1) – y(1)
= 2,000.

RMSE(X,h) is the cost function measured on the set of examples using your hypothesis h.

We use lowercase italic font for scalar values (such as m or y(i)) and function names (such as h),
lowercase bold font for vectors (such as x(i)), and uppercase bold font for matrices (such as X).

The Function of Loss Functions
What are loss functions for? What are their properties?

• They quantify the quality of the current model by a single number. Computed per train-
ing item and summed up over whole training set.

• Minimal when all examples from the training set get predicted perfectly.

• What does perfect mean? For probabilistic classifiers 100% probability for the correct
solution is needed.

• What characterizes good loss functions? They have unique extreme values which have a
closed solution or can be approximated iteratively for any data set.

Typical loss function for regression: Mean Squared Error

MSE(X, θ) = (θ T x(i) − y (i) )2

What characterizes convex functions y = f (x) ?

Convexity

• Their graph is on or below of any straight line drawn between two points of the graph.

• Is a straight line convex?

• Convex functions have a unique extreme value.

• Solution II: general kernel function (can sometimes be done efficient with kernel trick ) 3

• Solution III: Multi-Layer Neural Networks▲

Conclusion

• Linear regression is a simple, yet powerful parametric modeling approach

• Adding a threshold function as sign results in linear classification

• Adding a sigmoid function results in probabilistic binary classification

• Adding softmax function results in probabilistic multinomial classification (MaxEnt mod-

eling)

• MaxEnt was very popular in NLP before DL

• Modern ML uses objective functions that combine loss functions and regularization for
better generalization

• sklearn’s SGDClassifier▲ is a powerful linear modeling tool

When we are talking about categorical data, we have to further distinguish between
nominal and ordinal features. Ordinal features can be understood as categorical
values that can be sorted or ordered. For example, T-shirt size would be an ordinal
feature, because we can define an order XL > L > M. In contrast, nominal features
don't imply any order and, to continue with the previous example, we could think of
T-shirt color as a nominal feature since it typically doesn't make sense to say that, for
example,

Before we explore
Categorical Data:different techniques to handle such categorical data, let's create a

>>> df.columns = ['color', 'size', 'price', 'classlabel']

the nominal color column of our dataset, as follows:

putation steps

6.2 Implementations
6.2.1 autograd
Autograd▲

• Autograd can automatically differentiate native Python and Numpy code by overloading

• An early practical implementation of “tape-based” auto-differentiation for Python.

• Tracks all (supported) operations of “normal function definition”.

• Works within “normal” algorithmic control structures

• Automatically derives the derivation of the function w.r.t the relevant parameters

• Gradient-based optimization gets trivial from a user perspective

See Logistic Regression example for XOR on Colab▲ .

Tensor Operations with Broadcasting Support1
Tensor arguments can be automatically expanded to be of equal sizes (without making copies Broadcasting
of the data).
Two tensors are “broadcastable” if the following holds:
• Each tensor has at least one dimension.
• When iterating over the dimension sizes, starting at the trailing dimension, the dimen-
sion sizes must either be equal, one of them is 1, or one of them does not exist.

Calculating the resulting size of two “broadcastable” tensors x, y

• If the number of dimensions of x and y are not equal, prepend 1 to the dimensions of the
tensor with fewer dimensions to make them equal length.
• For each dimension, the resulting size is the max of the sizes of x and y along that dimen-
sion.

Feed-forward Neural Networks

4.1 A BRAIN-INSPIRED METAPHOR
As the name suggests, neural networks were inspired by the brain’s computation mechanism,
which consists of computation units called neurons. While the connections between artificial
neural networks and the brain are in fact rather slim, we repeat the metaphor here for complete-
ness. In the metaphor, a neuron is a computational unit that has scalar inputs and outputs. Each
input has an associated weight. e neuron multiplies each input by its weight, and then sums¹
them, applies a nonlinear function to the result, and passes it to its output. Figure 4.1 shows such
a neuron.

Output y1

Input x1 x2 x3 x4

Figure 4.1: A single neuron with four inputs.

e neurons are connected to each other, forming a network: the output of a neuron may
feed into the inputs of one or more neurons. Such networks were shown to be very capable com-
putational devices. If the weights are set correctly,
118a neural network with enough neurons and a
nonlinear activation function can approximate a very wide range of mathematical functions (we
will be more precise about this later).
A typical feed-forward neural network may be drawn as in Figure 4.2. Each circle is a
neuron, with incoming arrows being the neuron’s inputs and outgoing arrows being the neuron’s
outputs. Each arrow carries a weight, reflecting its importance (not shown). Neurons are arranged
 An MLP is often used for classification, with each output corresponding to a different
binary class (e.g., spam/ham, urgent/not-urgent, and so on). When the classes are
exclusive (e.g., classes 0 through 9 for digit image classification), the output layer is
typically modified by replacing the individual activation functions by a shared soft‐
max function (see Figure 10-9). The softmax function was introduced in Chapter 3.
The output of each neuron corresponds to the estimated probability of the corre‐
sponding class. Note that the signal flows only in one direction (from the inputs to
. . . to MLP/FFNN for Classification
the outputs), so this architecture is an example of a feedforward neural network
(FNN). MLP

 How Many Hidden Layers are Needed?
Universal Approximation Theorem

• Theoretically, one hidden layer with a squashing non-linear activation function would be
enough to approximate any real function as close as possible to any non-zero error (see
[?, 197ff])

• Does not guarantee the learnability of the function from training data!

• One hidden layer would sometimes need to be exponentially large (e.g. an order of 2n
for binary vectors {0, 1}n )

• Deep Learning favors multiple layers of hidden units

• DL believes that our objective functions is better expressed by a composition of several

simpler functions (realized by the hidden units)

context overfit at around 20 million parameters while deep ones can benefit from having
over 60 million. This suggests that using a deep model expresses a useful preference over
the space of functions the model can learn. Specifically, it expresses a belief that the
function should consist of many simpler functions composed together. This could result
either in learning a representation that is composed in turn of simpler representations (e.g.,
corners defined in terms of edges) or in learning 202a program with sequentially dependent

8.3 Training
Training Feedforward Networks: Overview
FFNN
Training
• Initial model: Start from randomly initialized parameters Θ

• Forward Pass: For each input x, compute the output ŷ

• Loss computation: Quantify the scalar loss (that is cost including regularization if present)
of ŷ wrt. the gold solution y.

• Backward Pass: Determine contribution of each parameter to the loss by applying the
chain rule (back-propagation).

• Training Step: Adapt the parameters according to the computed gradients and update
regime (learning rate and gradient descent)

Initialization

• Clever random initialization of parameters quality and speed of learning! Why do we

avoid initialization with a constant value?▲ Breaking the symmetry!

• Different initializations (via random seeds) lead to different final parameters (models).
Why? Non-convexity of objective function! Saddle points, local minima. Different mod-
els are good for ensembling!

• Best initialization strategy can depend on activation function

125
 Table 11-1. The initialization strategy for the ReLU activation function (and its var‐
iants, including the ELU activation described shortly) is sometimes called He initiali‐
zation (after the last name of its author).

er that a sequence of linear transformations is still a linear transformation.
While the brain metaphor is sexy and intriguing, it is also distracting and cumbersome
to manipulate mathematically. We therefore switch back to using more concise mathematical
notation. As will soon become apparent, a feed-forward network as the one in Figure 4.2 is simply
a stack of linear models separated by nonlinear functions.
e values of each row of neurons in the network can be thought of as a vector. In Figure 4.2
the input layer is a 4-dimensional vector (x ), and the layer above it is a 6-dimensional vector (h1 ).
e fully connected layer can be thought of as a linear transformation from 4 dimensions to 6
dimensions. A fully connected layer implements a vector-matrix multiplication, h D xW where
the weight of the connection from the i128th neuron in the input row to the j th neuron in the output
row is W Œi;j  .² e values of h are then transformed by a nonlinear function g that is applied to
each value before being passed on as input to the next layer. e whole computation from input
to output can be written as: .g.xW 1 //W 2 where W 1 are the weights of the first layer and W 2
are the weights of the second one. Taking this view, the single neuron in Figure 4.1 is equivalent
to a logistic (log-linear) binary classifier .xw/ without a bias term .

Gradient Landscape

134
Backprop Motivation: What are gradients telling us? The relative influence of certain
weights with respect to the cost function!
The gradient of the cost function C specifies for any model parameter its change of rate with re-

spect to the C.
Nudging the connection weight with the yellow gradient has 32 times more influence on the
cost function than changing the pink arrow

Backprop Motivation: Larger Deviations from Ground Truth Should Change More into the
Desired Direction

135
What are the arrows indicating?
Predicted values that are closer to the expected value should change less!

Conclusion

• FFNNs (sometimes called MLP) with non-linear activation functions and at least 1 hid-
den layer can approximate any computable function

• Deep FFNNs typically learn better than fat FFNNs

• Simple ReLU-style (Swish) non-linear activation perform well in deep FFNNs

• Backpropagation applies reverse-mode auto differentiation through FFNNs for optimiza-

tion of the parameters

Short Version of Long History of Distributionalism

Distribution-
alism
• “Die Bedeutung eines Wortes ist sein Gebrauch in der Sprache.” (Ludwig Wittgenstein)

• “Distributional Structure” [?]

• “You shall know a word by the company it keeps!” (J. R. Firth (1957))

144
 • “words which are similar in meaning occur in similar contexts (Rubenstein & Goode-
nough, 1965)”

• “words with similar meanings will occur with similar neighbors if enough text material
is available” (Schütze & Pedersen, 1995)

• “words that occur in the same contexts tend to have similar meanings” (Pantel, 2005)

See [?] for details.

Crucial question: How can we effectively learn good representation?

Words as Dense Vectors of 64 Real Numbers

Which line represents which word? (“war”, “peace”, “tomato”)

Word Embeddings
Continuous, numeric, dense word representations learned from raw text.
Similar vectors mean similar words (cosine vector distance).
Embeddings are a perfect input for numeric ML methods.

How to evaluate embeddings

How To Evaluate Embeddings?

Intrinsic: evaluation on a specific/intermediate subtask

word analogies: “a is to b as c is to ___?”
word similarity: correlation of the rankings
…
Extrinsic: evaluation on a real task
take some task (MT, NER, coreference resolution, …) or several tasks
train with different pretrained word embeddings
if the task quality is better -> win!

the word woman and get that the closest vector to the result (when excluding the words king, man,

Dimension Reduction for Visualization▲ : PCA, t-SNE, UMAP...1

• Important: The operations do not take place in 2D vector space!

• Different methods of dimension reduction for visualization of the vectors in 2D or 3D.

• PCA (Principal Component Analysis): Linear algebra method which maximizes the vari-
ance of the data. Stable visualization!

• t-SNE (t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding): Non-linear gradient method that

optimizes the similarity of vectors in high and low dimensional space. Non-deterministic
visualization

• Vector space models define distance [?]

• Dimension reduction (typical vector length for words d: 64-300)

Main task in creating continuous representations

vocabular from distributional evidence!

Learning methods: Interestingly from Deep to Shallow Learning

Originally complex network architectures with slow training. Meanwhile, simpler and better
models: word2vec, GloVe, fasttext.
And more recently: Back to deep models for contextualized word embeddings (BERT)

9.2.3 Properties
Limits/Properties of Embeddings

• Type of similarity varies and is not trivial to control. Which is more similar? dog, cat,
tiger.

• Antonyms: often appear as semantically close.

• Black-sheep effect: Trivial standard features are verbalized less often than salient ones:
black sheep vs. white sheep.

• Corpus bias: Stereotypes of text corpora are reflected in semantic space. Not always
desirable.

• Context independence: static embeddings have context independence. What happens to

ambiguous words?

167
Word Embeddings and Ambiguity

• Question: can word embeddings distinguish different meanings?

• Simple answer: No.

• More precise answer: a word embedding of an ambiguous word is a mixture of meanings

according to their occurrence in the corpus over which the vectors are learned.

• Next question: can we divide apart the different meanings in the vectors?

Subtracting Word Meanings3

What is the word with the smallest distance in the vector space, if we subtract from the mean-
ing of English “bank” the meaning of “banking” subtract?

 Variants

• of the classical word2vec method (=Skip-Gram).

• can compute a fixed number of distinct vectors (=MSSG).

• or compute a variable number of vectors adapted to the ambiguity (=NP-MSSG).

But how can I directly calculate the meaning of a word in context as a vector? Contextualized
embeddings . . .

Influence of Context on Embeddings

How big should the context be chosen? What type of neighborhood should be chosen? prox-
imity at the word level? proximity in syntactic distance?

• The choice of type and size of context influences the semantic space generated.

• A large window size makes embeddings “more thematic”.

• A small window size makes embeddings “more syntactic” and more sensitive to local
co-occurrences.

• A syntactic context makes the words more functionally/semantically similar and homo-
geneous with respect to parts of speech.

not suitable for expressing similarities.

• Continuous, low-dimensional dense representations result in more suitable semantic

spaces for many NLP tasks.

• Word Embeddings in combination with neural approaches have revolutionized NLP re-
search and text analysis in recent years.

• word2vec representation learning was the first success story of transfer learning!

Spotting Relevant Information in Large Data

Which words are relevant for predicting sentence sentiments? Negative, neutral, positive
“Still, this flick is fun and host to some truly excellent sequences.”

What is the name for spotting relevant information in data?

Feature extraction

Why can a simple CBOW representation fed into an FFNN work to some degree?
As an approximation, lexical clues are informative regardless of their position!
Why only as a rough approximation?

Global and Local Ordering

Why is local ordering relevant?

• Negation: “it was not good, it was actually quite bad”

• Constructions/Multiword Expressions: “avoids the obvious”

Semantic compositionality of words matters. . . N-grams are more informative

What does the following sentence pair illustrate?

“Montias pumps a lot of energy into his nuanced narative, and surrounds himself with a cast
of quirky—but not stereotyped—street characters” vs “Montias surrounds himself with a cast
of quirky—but not stereotyped—street characters, thereby pumping a lot of energy into his
nuanced narative.”

Why is global ordering not so relevant?

Variability of expression
Analogy to images?

A Naive Approach: Embedding of N-Grams

What are the problems of embedding word n-grams?

• Exponential growth of types of n-grams

• Huge embedding matrices if done naively

• Sparsity of n-grams even with large text corpora

• Opaqueness of n-gram component words, independence of n-grams: if “very good” was

seen in training, but “quite good” not, the model is not able to deduce anything from the
shared component words.

• How can we deal with this problems?

BTW: “A La Carte Embedding: Cheap but Effective Induction of Semantic Feature Vectors”
[?]
Interesting paper that tackles (among other tasks) the problem of deriving good embeddings
for unseen or rare n-grams. nonce2vec problem [?].

Summary: Problems for FFNNs

• N-grams for capturing local information exponentially grow the input size

• Text windows and their features are matrices

• Flattening/Concatenation of feature matrices creates large vectors (high capacity net-

works)

• FFNNs are not prepared for global ordering invariance (shifted inputs with similar func-
tion)

CNN Architectures
Idea: From pixels to edges to shapes to classification
Pooling

Typical CNN architectures stack a few convolutional layers (each one generally fol‐
lowed by a ReLU layer), then a pooling layer, then another few convolutional layers
(+ReLU), then another pooling layer, and so on. The image gets smaller and smaller
as it progresses through the network, but it also typically gets deeper and deeper (i.e.,
with more feature maps) thanks to the convolutional layers (see Figure 13-9). At the
top of the stack, a regular feedforward neural network is added, composed ▲ of a few
fully connected layers (+ReLUs), and the final layer outputs the prediction (e.g., a

Over the years, variants of this fundamental architecture have been developed, lead‐
ing to amazing advances in the field. A good measure of this progress is the error rate
in competitions such as the ILSVRC ImageNet 184 challenge. In this competition the
top-5 error rate for image classification fell from over 26% to barely over 3% in just
five years. The top-five error rate is the number of test images for which the system’s
top 5 predictions did not include the correct answer. The images are large (256 pixels
high) and there are 1,000 classes, some of which are really subtle (try distinguishing

• All weights in a filter reach every element in the sequence, . . .

• specifically the ones at the edges.

• Especially, if the window size is large (8 to 10).

• But hierarchical convolution with smaller windows is preferable and covers the same

• Robustly produces wellformed convoluted vectors, even if input is smaller than window.

Pooling
• n-grams of words

• 1D Average Pooling on Embeddings

• No convolution done 13.1. BASIC CONVOLUTION + POOLING 157

One view of average-pooling is that of taking a continuous bag-of-words (CBOW) of the k-gram
representations resulting from the convolutions rather than from the sentence words.
K-Max Pooling
K-max Pooling Another variation, introduced by Kalchbrenner et al. [2014] is k-max pooling
operation, in which the top k values in each dimension are retained instead of only the best one,
while preserving the order in which they appeared in the text.⁵ For example, consider the following
matrix:
2 3
1 2 3
6 9 6 57
6 7
6 2 3 17 :
6 7
4 7 8 15
3 4 1
 
A 1-max pooling over the column vectors will result in 9 8 5 , while a 2-max pool-
 
9 6 3

activated [Kalchbrenner et al., 2014].

Dynamic Pooling Rather than performing a single pooling operation over the entire sequence,
we may want to retain some positional information based on our domain understanding of the
prediction problem at hand. To this end, we can split the vectors pi into r distinct groups, apply
the pooling separately on each group, and then concatenate the r resulting `-dimensional vectors
c1 ; : : : ; cr . e division of the pi s into groups is performed based on domain knowledge. For
example, we may conjecture that words appearing early in the sentence are more indicative than
words appearing late. We can then split the sequence into r equally sized regions, applying a
separate max-pooling to each region. For example, Johnson and Zhang [2015] found that when
classifying documents into topics, it is useful to have 20 average-pooling regions, clearly separating
the initial sentences (where the topic is usually introduced) from later ones, while for a sentiment
classification task a single max-pooling operation over the entire sentence was optimal (suggesting
that one or two very strong signals are enough to determine the sentiment, regardless of the
position in the sentence).
202task we may be given two words and asked to
Similarly, in a relation extraction kind of
determine the relation between them. We could argue that the words before the first word, the
words after the second word, and the words between them provide three different kinds of infor-

⁵In this chapter, we use k to denote the window-size of the convolution. e k in k -max pooling is a different, and unrelated,
value. We use the letter k for consistency with the literature.

 13.3 HIERARCHICAL CONVOLUTIONS
e 1D convolution approach described so far can be thought of as an ngram detector. A convo-
lution layer with a window of size k is learning to identify indicative k -grams in the input.
e approach can be extended into a hierarchy of convolutional layers, in which a sequence
of convolution layers are applied one after the other. Let CONVk‚ .w1Wn / be the result of applying
a convolution with window size k and parameters ‚ to each k -size window in the sequence w1Wn :

can be converted into a single vector using max pooling or averaged pooling. Even if we pool
just every two neighboring vectors, each convolutional-and-pooling layer in the hierarchy will
halve the length of the sequence. Similar to the dilation approach, we again gain an exponential
decrease in sequence length as a function of the number of layers.

Parameter Tying and Skip-connections Another variation that can be applied to the hierarchical
convolution architecture is performing parameter-tying, using the same set of parameters U; b
in all the parameter layers. is results in more parameter sharing, as well as allowing to use an
unbounded number of convolution layers (as all the convolution layers share the same parameters,
the number of convolution layers need not be set in advance), which in turn allows to reduce
arbitrary length sequences into a single vector by using a sequence of narrow convolutions, each
resulting in a shorter sequence of vectors.
When using deep architectures, skip-connections are sometimes useful: these work by feed-
ing into the i th layer not only the vectors resulting from the i 1th layer, but also vectors from

hyperparameters that will accomplish a task. We again consider the now­familiar surname
classification task introduced in Example: Surname Classification with an MLP”, but we will use
CNNs instead of an MLP. We still need to apply a final Linear layer that will learn to create a
prediction vector from a feature vector created by a series of convolution layers. This implies that the
goal is to determine a configuration of convolution layers that results in the desired feature vector. All
CNN applications are like this: there is an initial set of convolutional layers that extract a feature map

Issues with Deep CNNs
Deep CNN

• Training problems (convergence) due to vanishing gradients in deep CNNs

• Skip connections can bypass certain layers: Bypassed information from lower levels is
integrated again on high levels.

• More parameter saving: Share parameters between layers (similar idea as in recurrent
neural networks)

• Apply dropout: deactivate a random selection of neurons in a training step for regular-
ization

• Normalization of activation in hidden layers (natural extension of normalization of input

features): Layer Normalization, Batch Normalization, Group Normalization, etc.

Recurrent Neural Networks

Learning Goals

• Know why Recurrent Neural Networks can deal with sequences with sequence-intern
dependencies: very well with input dependencies and to a good degree with output
dependencies

• Understand different modeling approaches for sequence data

• Know about the theoretical abilities of RNNs and the practical problems in training (van-
ishing and exploding gradients)

• Know most important facts about unfolding recurrent relations and backpropagation
through time

12.1 Motivation
Recap: Convolutional Networks (CNNs)

• Excellent for grid-structured input (1D, 2D, 3D, or more!)

• Sensitive to local ordering

• Applicable to large inputs in a “fully-connected” style

• Only feasible because of shared parameters of convolution weight matrices!

Fixed-Size Input to Fixed-Size Output

Motivation
for RNNs

219
Limitations of Non-Recurrent Neural Networks

• fixed-sized input vector

• fixed-sized output vector (not necessarily the same size as input)

• fixed-sized number of computing steps

• ideal for classification or regression of independent and identically distributed items

(i.i.d. random variables▲ )

• Dealing with variable lengths input or output needs special treatment (shortening,padding,
masking)!

• For instance, applying iteratively sliding windows.

Dynamical Systems as Recurrent Sequences
For example, consider the classical form of a dynamical system:
s(t) = f (s(t−1) ; θ), (10.1)
where s(t) is called the state of the system.
Eq. 10.1 is recurrent because the definition of s at time t refers back to the
same definition at time t − 1.
For a finite number of time steps τ , the graph can be unfolded by applying the
definition τ − 1 times. For example, if we unfold Eq. 10.1 for τ = 3 time steps, we
obtain

 from previous time steps, you could say it has a form of memory. A part of a neural
network that preserves some state across time steps is called a memory cell (or simply
a cell). A single recurrent neuron, or a layer of recurrent neurons, is a very basic cell,
but later in this chapter we will look at some more complex and powerful types of
cells.
In general a cell’s state at time step t, denoted h(t) (the 14.1.

function of some inputs at that time step and its state at the previous time step: h(t) =
f(h(t–1), x(t)). Its output at time step t, denoted y(t), is also a function of the previous
state and the current inputs. In the case of the basic cells we have discussed so far, the
output is simply equal to the state, but in more complex cells this is not always the

An RNN can simultaneously take a sequence of inputs and produce a sequence of
outputs (see Figure 14-4, top-left network). For example, this type of network is use‐
ful for predicting time series such as stock prices:
yi you feed it the prices over the last N
days, and it must output the prices shifted by one day into the future (i.e., from N – 1
days ago to tomorrow).

• Suited for predictions of variable-length sequences (e.g. language modeling)

• Parameter sharing is key (as for CNNs)

• Powerful for n-dimensional grid-structured data where the ordering bears important in-
formation

• Can (in principle) deal with unrestricted long-distance dependencies in sequences!

• Strong theoretical result with idealizing assumptions: Turing Completeness

• RNNs can simulate arbitrary programs

whether the theoretical limitations of certain neural models hold in practice when trained with
gradient-based methods. For example, previous work has theoretically argued that RNNs are Turing
complete (Siegelmann & Sontag, 1994). However, more recent theoretical analyses (Ackerman &
Cybenko, 2020; Merrill, 2019; Weiss et al., 2018) showed that RNNs lie much lower on the Chomsky
hierarchy. To complement these theoretical analyses, we conduct a large-scale empirical evaluation
on sequence prediction problems. We make the following main contributions:

• We conduct an extensive generalization study (20 910 models, 15 tasks) of state-of-the-art

neural network architectures (RNN, LSTM, Transformer) and memory-augmented networks
(Stack-RNN, Tape-RNN) on a battery of sequence-prediction tasks spanning the entire

• We show how increasing amounts of training data do not enable generalization on our tasks

the training data) potentially implying hard limitations for scaling laws (Kaplan et al., 2020).
• We demonstrate how augmenting architectures with differentiable structured memory (e.g.,
with a stack or a tape) can enable them to solve tasks higher up the hierarchy.

past—the words x1Wi up to and including it. However, the following words xiC1Wn may also be
useful for prediction, as is evident by the common sliding-window approach in which the focus
word is categorized based on a window of k words surrounding it. Much like the RNN relaxes the
Markov assumption and allows looking arbitrarily back into the past, the biRNN relaxes the fixed
window size assumption, allowing to look arbitrarily far at both the past and the future within
the sequence.
Consider an input sequence x1Wn . e biRNN works by maintaining two separate states,

12.5 Conclusions
Power of RNNs

• RNNs with sufficient recurrent hidden layers/nodes can approximate any sequence-to-
sequence mapping function!
• Taking into account any level of dependency in the sequence!
• RNNs can simulate arbitrary programs For example, RNNs can easily learn to add dec-
imal numbers
• RNNs can operate in a sequential manner over non-sequential data
• RNNs are very parameter-efficient (small)
• RNNs are autoregressive and efficient parallelization apart from batch processing is lim-
ited

Conclusions

• Recurrent Neural Networks allow a flexible modeling of mappings of sequences of arbi-

trary length

252
 • RNNs can deal with dependencies within sequences that are typical for NLP problems

• Recurrent memory cells can be stacked into layers and/or concatenated into bidirectional
networks

• Simple RNNs have training problems with long-distance dependencies: more complex
neurons (GRU, LSTM) are needed in these cases

input state, a gate is used to decide how much of the new input should be written to the memory

Conditioned Generation
As discussed in Chapter 14, RNNs can act as non-markovian language models, conditioning
on the entire history. is ability makes them suitable for use as generators (generating natural
language sequences) and conditioned generators, in which the generated output is conditioned on
a complex input. is chapter discusses these architectures.

is sequence generation. Any language model can be used for generation, as described in Section 9.5.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXW6Cs82UKo

14.1 seq2seq with Attention

Typical RNN Encoder Decoder seq2seq Model

After the encoding, a static vector of the input is used for autoregressive decoding. Watch
animated video▲ . For technical details, see dl2ai’s chapter▲

Schematic: Encoder-Context-Decoder
The encoder provides the encoded input as context for the decoder.

274
 The key idea underlying these networks is the use of an encoder network that
takes an input sequence and creates a contextualized representation of it, often called
the context. This representation is then passed to a decoder which generates a task-
specific output sequence. Fig. 9.16 illustrates the architecture

of the input. This representation is embodied in the final hidden state of the encoder,
hen . This
Seq2seq: More Formal View representation, also called c for context, is then passed to the decoder.
The decoder network on the right takes this state and uses it to initialize the first
hidden state of the decoder. That is, the first decoder RNN cell uses c as its prior
hidden state hd0 . The decoder autoregressively generates a sequence of outputs, an
element at a time, until an end-of-sequence marker is generated. Each hidden state
is conditioned on the previous hidden state and the output generated in the previous
state.
One weakness of this approach as described so far is that the influence of the
context vector, c, will wane as the output sequence is generated. A solution is to
make the context vector c available at each step in the decoding process by adding
it as a parameter to the computation of the current hidden state, using the following
equation (illustrated in Fig. 9.19):
htd = g(ŷt d
1 , ht 1 , c) (9.32)

Now we’re ready to see the full equations for this version of the decoder in the basic

• When decoding, compute a weighted sum of the input vectors by multiplying them with
“attention weights”: results in the “context vector”

• The attention weights are end-to-end computed by a FFNN with softmax output.

• The context vector is used to pick the next word.

• The model learns to (soft)search for the relevant input words.

14.2 CTC
From Continuous Time to Discrete Time [?]
Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) deals with seq2seq problems with unclear input
segmentation of monotonic alignments.

280
CTC:

• Unknown or difficult segmentation of input

• Unequal number of timesteps in input and output

• Unclear correspondences of input and output elements

CTC does not compute alignments naively!

281
Where would you want to segment handwritten characters?

The CTC Core Trick

• A special blank token ϵ is added to the output vocabulary.
• Repeating outputs are collapsed.
• Turns the problem into a simpler mapping where 1 input step cannot be aligned to more
than 1 output step!

282
 Valid Monotonic Alignments: Loss Over Several Perfect Solutions

• Loss is computed before repetitions and blanks are removed!

• More than one prediction is perfect!

• We marginalize over all valid alignments!

An efficient marginalization computation via dynamic programming algorithm is needed.

is the sum of the two final nodes.

Summary

• Sequence to Sequence models consists often of a encoder and decoder part that can be
optimized end-to-end

• Attention regulates the information flow that the decoder processes: attention learns
where to look while decoding!

Statistical Subword Tokenization: BPE [?]
• Deep Learning models cannot handle large vocabularies (> 100, 000)
• Subword tokenization is based on text compression methods, not on linguistic intuition

treme cases)

Typical Subword Tokenization for Transformer Models

Splits rare words into subwords
• Input: ’The origins of the word octothorpe are shrouded in mystery.’
• Output: [’the’, ’origins’, ’of’, ’the’, ’word’, ’oct’, ’##otho’, ’##rp’,
’##e’, ’are’, ’sh’, ’##roud’, ’##ed’, ’in’, ’mystery’, ’.’]
• Tokens starting with ## have to be merged with the preceding token to build a “word”.

More on different subword tokenizers▲ :
• BPE on Byte vs Unicode character level
• wordpiece for white-space segmented script systems
• sentencepiece for non-segmented scripts

286
Subword Tokenization in Huggingface▲
• Subword tokenizers are like models (e.g. sklearn’s tf vectorizers): Trained/fitted on spe-
cific data sets
• Applying a trained task-specific downstream model requires the same tokenizer model
that was used in training to map input words into subword token IDs
• Tokenizer models typically have unused subtoken slots that you can fill with domain-
specific vocabulary
• Transformer models have special tokens, for instance, for padding segments [PAD],
masking input [MASK], separating segments [SEP] or <s>, document class represen-
tation [CLS] that need to be respected.
• Each model has its own special token syntax!

15.1.2 Self-Attention
Motivation: Parallel vs Sequential
4. The Motivation for Transformers
• We want parallelization but RNNs are inherently sequential

• Despite GRUs and LSTMs, RNNs still need attention mechanism

to deal with long range dependencies – path length between
states grows with sequence otherwise
• But if attention gives us access to any state… maybe we can just
use attention and don’t need the RNN?

can scale these scores, take the softmax, and then multiply the result by V resulting

• The decoder masks the future by setting attention to unseen tokens to zero.

Comparing Architectures and Distances Between Sequence Items

Path length for n items in hierarchical CNN with kernel size k and is O(n/k). In RNNs, it’s O(n). For self-attention
it’s O(1). In Self-Attention, all items have a distance of 1 to each other (good for long dependencies).
For self-attention, the computation complexity grows quadratic with sequence length n O(n2 d).
Whereas RNNs computation complexity grows quadratic with hidden dimension d O(nd2 )
and only linear in n. Computation complexity for CNNs grows O(knd2 ).

What are the main properties of word2vec embeddings?

• The same string has always the same vector representation.

• Ambiguous words have a mixture of the possible senses.

• The frequency of a sense of a word in a corpus determines the proportion of the different

setups P ROPOSED and P ROPOSED + WORD , as well as for a setup that involves only traditional word em-
beddings (G LOV E for English NER, KOMNIOS for English PoS and chunking, FAST T EXT for German
NER).
Proposed Model for Sequence Tagging
We find that the effect of removing the BiLSTM layer on downstream task accuracy is far lower for
the proposed embeddings than for classic embeddings. For the setups P ROPOSED and P ROPOSED + WORD ,
we record only an average drop of 3% in F-score/accuracy between the BiLSTM-CRF and Map-CRF
architectures. This stands in contrast to classic embeddings in which we find an average drop of 20%
from BiLSTM-CRF to Map-CRF. This indicates that the inherent semantics of the proposed embeddings
are meaningful enough as to require much less powerful learning architectures on top to perform down-
stream sequence labeling tasks. In particular, for PoS tagging, the simple feedforward map is competitive
to BiLSTM and much more effective to train.
Qualitative inspection (Table 4). To illustrate the contextualized nature of our proposed embeddings,
we present example embeddings of the polysemous word “Washington” in different contexts. We com-
pute contextual string embeddings for all words in the English C O NLL03 corpus and compute nearest
neighbors in the embedding space using the cosine distance. We then look up nearest neighbors for
different mentions of the word “Washington”.
As Table 4 shows, the embeddings successfully pry apart person, place, legislative entity and team
(a-d). For instance, “Washington” used as last name in context (b) is closest to other last names, many of
which are also place names (“Carla Sacramento”); “Washington” used as a sport team name in context
(d) is closest to other place names used in sports team contexts. We include a negative example (e) in
Table 4 in which the context is not sufficient to determine the type of mention. We hypothesize that

downstream sequence labeling task.

3.5 Discussion
Our proposed approach is one of the first to leverage hidden states from a language model to im-
prove sequence labeling performance. Two prior works have suggested related approaches: The first
is Liu et al. (2017) that jointly train a character-level language model together with the sequence labeling
BiLSTM. In effect, this means that the language model is trained only on labeled task data and therefore
314
has orders of magnitude fewer data available than our proposed approach (which we can pre-train on
basically unlimited amounts of unlabled data). We hypothesize that this is the main reason for why our
approach outperforms Liu et al. (2017) across all tasks.
A second approach is the method by Peters et. al (2017) which proposed to extract hidden states from
pre-trained word-level language models as features for downstream NLP tasks. They report new state-

Simple classical word biLSTM embeddings

ELMo: Forward and Backward Language Modeling

• Pretraining task: Predict the next word!

• Use 2 biLSTM layers: 4096 dim hidden/cell LSTM states with 512 dim projections to next
input; add residual connections between layers (just copy the original data)

• Parameter Tying: Tie parameters of token input and output prediction between forward
and backward LMs

• Green vectors come from character CNN

used.

• Deep: The word representations combine all layers of a deep pre-trained neural network.

• Task-specific parameterization: Task-specific fine-tuning of general representations: there

• Contextualized word and sentence embeddings lead to semantic spaces that deal with
the ambiguity of words by integrating the meaning of the context into word representa-
tions

• Bidirectional RNN-based language models can be used to produce task-neutral (FLAIR)

or task-specific (ELMO) embeddings

• Fine-tuned BERT Cross-Encoder textual similarity works well, but too slow for large
similar sentence retrieval problems.

• For sentence embeddings, raw average BERT embeddings are worse than static CBOW
embeddings!

• Fine-tuning BERT Bi-Encoder on NLI or STS data results in powerful representations and
allow fast inference

• Alternative, triplet loss can exploit unlabeled data with semantic relatedness as WIKI

Clustering of Text Documents

Heike Adel Introduction 22.02.2019 32 / 55

Text classification▲ [?]

Text
clustering
The texts of a text collection are assigned to exactly one or more classes (multilabel multiclass)
of a given (hierarchically) structured classification system.
Example: Hierarchical text classification with Dewey Decimal codes on library records [?].

Text Clustering

In clustering, text collections are structured based on inherent characteristics only, so that all
(or most) texts

328
 • inside a cluster are as similar as possible

• and as dissimilar as possible between different clusters

Clustering works best for larger text collections with heterogeneous subjects. Finding subtle
differences between a few dozen documents typically fails!

Carrot2▲ : An Open-Source Clustering Retrieval Engine

Goals in clustering

• Maximize similarity within a cluster!

• Minimize similarity between clusters!

• Solve the cluster naming problem!

Ambiguity, words and clusters

The same word can appear in different clusters.

Basic Problems of Clustering

Typical difficulties in text clustering

• Cluster name: Unlike in classification, there are no predefined categories and category
names.

329
 • Cluster size: No predefined number of clusters (way out: hierarchical clustering or sys-
tematic search)

• Evaluation: How can the quality of clustering methods be evaluated automatically?

17.2 Hard Clustering

17.2.1 Flat
K-Means▲ : Simple Expectation Maximization Method
Fast (if low-dimensional), hard, flat clustering method, where the distance (Euclidean or better
L1 norm) to the center counts as homogeneity criterion.

• Centroid: average value of all vectors of a cluster; normally not a real data point

• K: number of clusters = number of centroids

K-Means based on randomly placed centroids

1. Calculate clusters according to minimal distance to the Centroid

2. Calculate average of all data points in the cluster and set it as new centroid

Repeat steps 1-2 until no more change occurs or just n times!

• K-Means cannot be done with vectors with hundreds of thousands of dimensions.

• Efficient approach is important: reduction of considered words (e.g., only 1000 words
with highest TF-IDF value).

• Alternative 1: dimension reduction of the bag-of-words representation with SVD

• Alternative 2: clustering on Continuous Bag-of-Word (CBOW) of word embeddings.

• Intuition: Topics are basic colors with which you can paint content.

• Topics can be presented to humans textually as word distributions

• Similar documents have similar topic distributions, but not necessarily the same words

• Computationally intensive, but feasible on today’s hardware

Top2Vec [?]: Jointly Generating Topic, Document and Word Embeddings

Idea: Semantically similar documents are indicative of an underlying topic

• Step 1: Create joint embeddings of words and documents (doc2vec, Universal Sentence
Encoder, SentenceBERT)

• Step 2: Find dense clusters of documents

• Step 3: Each dense area is a topic and the centroid of all documents is the topic vector

• Step 4: Identify the topic words by similarity to the topic vector

Top2vec: Step 1: Embedded Words and Documents

Top2Vec▲

356
Top2vec: Step 2: Dimension Reduction using UMAP▲ and Clustering using HDBSCAN▲

The colored areas are the dense areas of documents. Red points are outliers that do not belong
to a specific cluster.

Top2vec: Step 3: Calculate Topic Vector

For each dense area calculate the centroid of document vectors in original dimension, this is
the topic vector.
Purple points=Documents; Red points=Ignored outlier documents

Top2vec: Step 4: Topic Words

where:

• T F (t, d) is the term frequency of term t in cluster d (we regard all documents clustered
together as a macro-document).

• N is the total number of clusters.

• DF (t) is the number of clusters containing term t.

• Coherence measures whether the words in a topic tend to co-occur together.

• Coherence uses co-occurrence in documents

• Word-pairs come from topics

• Strictly meaningful comparison only for models with the same number of topics

• Often slightly different definitions in frameworks

Pretraining and Fine-tuning in GPT-1: Transfer Learning

Figure 1: (left) Transformer architecture and training objectives used in this work. (right) Input
transformations for fine-tuning on different tasks. We convert all structured inputs into token
sequences to be processed by our pre-trained model, followed by a linear+softmax layer.
Goal: Minimal architecture changes from pre-training to fine-tuning
3.3 Task-specific input transformations
Fine-Tuning
For some tasks, like text classification, we can directly fine-tune our model as described above.
Certain other tasks, like question answering or textual entailment, have structured inputs such as
ordered sentence pairs, or triplets of document, question, and answers. Since our pre-trained model
was trained on contiguous sequences of text, we require some modifications to apply it to these tasks.
Previous work proposed learning task specific architectures on top of transferred representations [44].
Such an approach re-introduces a significant amount of task-specific customization and does not
use transfer learning for these additional architectural components. Instead, we use a traversal-style
approach [52], where we convert structured inputs into an ordered sequence that our pre-trained
381
model can process. These input transformations allow us to avoid making extensive changes to the
architecture across tasks. We provide a brief description of these input transformations below and
Figure 1 provides a visual illustration. All transformations include adding randomly initialized start
and end tokens (hsi, hei).

Textual entailment For entailment tasks, we concatenate the premise p and hypothesis h token
 P (u) = softmax(hn WeT )
where U = (u k , . . . , u 1 ) is the context vector of tokens, n is the number of layers, We is the token
embedding matrix, and Wp is the position embedding matrix.

3.2 Supervised fine-tuning

After training the model with the objective in Eq. 1, we adapt the parameters to the supervised target
task. We assume a labeled dataset C, where each instance consists of a sequence of input tokens,
x1 , . . . , xm , along with a label y. The inputs are passed through our pre-trained model to obtain
the final transformer block’s activation hm l , which is then fed into an added linear output layer with
parameters Wy to predict y:
P (y|x1 , . . . , xm ) = softmax(hm l Wy ). (3)
This gives us the following objective to maximize:
X
L2 (C) = log P (y|x1 , . . . , xm ). (4)
(x,y)

We additionally found that including language modeling as an auxiliary objective to the fine-tuning
helped learning by (a) improving generalization of the supervised model, and (b) accelerating
convergence. This is in line with prior work [50, 43], who also observed improved performance with
such an auxiliary objective. Specifically, we optimize the following objective (with weight ):
L3 (C) = L2 (C) + ⇤ L1 (C) (5)
Overall, the only extra parameters we require during fine-tuning are Wy , and embeddings for delimiter
tokens (described below in Section 3.3).

and few-shot, which we study in this work, require the model to perform the task with only forward passes at t
time. We typically present the model with a few dozen examples in the few shot setting. Exact phrasings for all t
descriptions, examples and prompts can be found in Appendix G.

Context (passage and previous question/answer pairs)

The 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay was run from March 24 until August 8, 2008, prior to the 2008 Summer
Olympics, with the theme of “one world, one dream”. Plans for the relay were announced on April 26, 2007, in
Beijing, China. The relay, also called by the organizers as the “Journey of Harmony”, lasted 129 days and carried
the torch 137,000 km (85,000 mi) – the longest distance of any Olympic torch relay since the tradition was started
ahead of the 1936 Summer Olympics.

After being lit at the birthplace of the Olympic Games in Olympia, Greece on March 24, the torch trav-
eled to the Panathinaiko Stadium in Athens, and then to Beijing, arriving on March 31. From Beijing, the torch was
following a route passing through six continents. The torch has visited cities along the Silk Road, symbolizing
ancient links between China and the rest of the world. The relay also included an ascent with the flame to the top of
Mount Everest on the border of Nepal and Tibet, China from the Chinese side, which was closed specially for the
event.

random graphs (e.g., Erdős–Rényi random graph) can have similar spectral properties with
complete graphs that leads to a fast mixing time for random walking on graphs.

sizes (1.3B, 6B, and 175B parameters), and all of our models use the GPT-3 architecture. Our main
findings are as follows:

Labelers significantly prefer InstructGPT outputs over outputs from GPT-3. On our test set,
outputs from the 1.3B parameter InstructGPT model are preferred to outputs from the 175B GPT-3,
despite having over 100x fewer parameters. These models have the same architecture, and differ only
by the fact that InstructGPT is fine-tuned on our human data. This result holds true even when we
add a few-shot prompt to GPT-3 to make it better at following instructions. Outputs from our 175B
InstructGPT are preferred to 175B GPT-3 outputs 85 ± 3% of the time, and preferred 71 ± 4% of the
time to few-shot 175B GPT-3. InstructGPT models also generate more appropriate outputs according
to our labelers, and more reliably follow explicit constraints in the instruction.

InstructGPT models show improvements in truthfulness over GPT-3. On the TruthfulQA

benchmark, InstructGPT generates truthful and informative answers about twice as often as GPT-3.
Our results are equally strong on the subset of questions that were not adversarially selected against
GPT-3. On “closed-domain” tasks from our API prompt distribution, where the output should not
contain information that is not present in the input (e.g. summarization and closed-domain QA),
InstructGPT models make up information not present in the input about half as often as GPT-3 (a
21% vs. 41% hallucination rate, respectively).

We collected user prompts sent to us through ChatGPT and the OpenAI API, sampled one response from
each model, and sent these prompts and responses to human labelers. The labelers were instructed to judge
whether the response is what the user would have wanted given the prompt. The labelers were not told which
response was generated by which model and the order in which the responses were presented was randomised.

GPT-4 significantly reduces hallucinations relative to previous GPT-3.5 models (which have them-

Post-Training
earlier versions of ChatGPT [64] based on GPT-3.5; GPT-4 improves on the latest GPT-3.5 model by 19
percentage points, with significant gains across all topics.

GPT-4 makes progress on public benchmarks like TruthfulQA [66], which tests the model’s ability to
separate fact from an adversarially-selected set of incorrect statements (Figure 7). These questions
are paired with factually incorrect answers that are statistically appealing. The GPT-4 base model is
only slightly better at this task than GPT-3.5; however, after RLHF post-training we observe large
improvements over GPT-3.5.9 Table 4 shows both a correct and an incorrect answer. GPT-4 resists
selecting common sayings (you can’t teach an old dog new tricks), however it still can miss subtle
details (Elvis Presley was not the son of an actor, so Perkins is the correct answer).
GPT-4 generally lacks knowledge of events that have occurred after the vast majority of its pre-training
data cuts off in September 202110 , and does not learn from its experience. It can sometimes make
simple reasoning errors which do not seem to comport with competence across so many domains, or
be overly gullible in accepting obviously false statements from a user. It can fail at hard problems the
same way humans do, such as introducing security vulnerabilities into code it produces.
GPT-4 can also be confidently wrong in its predictions, not taking care to double-check work when
it’s likely to make a mistake. Interestingly, the pre-trained model is highly calibrated (its predicted

The prompt engineering methods we discussed so far focused mainly on constructing a single prompt for an input.
However, a significant body of research has demonstrated414that the use of multiple prompts can further improve the
efficacy of prompting methods, and we will call these methods multi-prompt learning methods. In practice, there are
several ways to extend the single prompt learning to the use multiple prompts, which have a variety of motivations.
We summarize representative methods in the “Multi-prompt Learning” section of Fig.1 as well as Fig.4.

6.1 Prompt Ensembling

Prompt ensembling is the process of using multiple unanswered prompts for an input at inference time to make
In prompt-based downstream task learning, there are usually two types of parameters, namely those from (1)
pre-trained models and (2) prompts. Which part of parameters should be updated is one important design decision,
which can lead to different levels of applicability in different scenarios. We summarize five tuning strategies (as
shown in Tab. 6) based on (i) whether the parameters of the underlying LM are tuned, (ii) whether there are additional
prompt-related parameters, (iii) if there are additional prompt-related parameters, whether those parameters are
tuned.

Table 6: Characteristics of different tuning strategies. “Additional” represents if there are additional parameters
beyond LM parameters while “Tuned” denotes if parameters are updated.
Fine-tuning can lead to catastrophic forgetting. In-context-learning can be slow/expensive at
test time. Fixed-prompt is a good compromise for few-shot.

memory is a dense vector index of Wikipedia, accessed with a pre-trained neural
retriever. We combine these components in a probabilistic model trained end-to-end (Fig. 1). The
retriever (Dense Passage Retriever [26], henceforth DPR) provides latent documents conditioned on
the input, and the seq2seq model (BART [32]) then conditions on these latent documents together with
the input to generate the output. We marginalize the latent documents with a top-K approximation,
either on a per-output basis (assuming the same document is responsible for all tokens) or a per-token
basis (where different documents are responsible for different tokens). Like T5 [51] or BART, RAG
can be fine-tuned on any seq2seq task, whereby both the generator and retriever are jointly learned.
There has been extensive previous work proposing architectures to enrich systems with non-parametric
memory which are trained from scratch for specific tasks, e.g. memory networks [64, 55], stack-
augmented networks [25] and memory layers [30]. In contrast, we explore a setting where both
parametric and non-parametric memory components are pre-trained and pre-loaded with extensive
knowledge. Crucially, by using pre-trained access mechanisms, the ability to access knowledge is
present without additional training.
Our results highlight the benefits of combining parametric and non-parametric memory with genera-
tion for knowledge-intensive tasks—tasks that humans could not reasonably be expected to perform
without access to an external knowledge source. Our RAG models achieve state-of-the-art results
on open Natural Questions [29], WebQuestions [3] and CuratedTrec [2] and strongly outperform
recent approaches that use specialised pre-training objectives on TriviaQA [24]. Despite these being
extractive tasks, we find that unconstrained generation outperforms previous extractive approaches.
For knowledge-intensive generation, we experiment with MS-MARCO [1] and Jeopardy question
generation, and we find that our models generate responses that are more factual, specific, and
diverse than a BART baseline. For FEVER [56] fact verification, we achieve results within 4.3% of
state-of-the-art pipeline models which use strong retrieval supervision. Finally, we demonstrate that

exceeds a cumulative probability mass P. After renormalization of nucleus probabilities,
a token is sampled from this distribution.

Prompting vs Fine-Tuning in Very Large Language Models (VLLMs)▲

420
 • Fine-Tuning for VLLMs such as GPT-3.5 or Llama 2 is actually providing prompt/re-
sponse training pairs

• Good prompts vom few-shot learnings are good prompts for fine-tuning!

• Fine-Tuning principle: “Show, don’t tell” — especially if telling what to do is cumber-

some/difficult

Reasons for Fine-Tuning VLLMs

• Prompting results are not satisfying (regarding content or style)

• Needed number of examples for In-Context-Learning is high: Exceeding the context win-
dow (typically 2-8k), or : spending too much money at inference time due to long prompts
(although input tokens are less than half the price than output tokens)

• Lower latency for requests needed (saving time)

Notably, training stage is divided into two parts: pre-training, which aims to learn generalizable
parameters, and fine-tuning, which optimizes these parameters for specific downstream tasks.

Motivation for Fine-Tuning Efficiency: Parameter Sizes Explode

• Fine-tuning all parameters is impractical with large models

• Classical transfer learning (pre-train and fine-tune) breaks down!

• State-of-the-art models are massively over-parameterized; not necessary to touch every

parameter. . .

• Is there a way to combine the original parameters with a small amount of fine-tuned
task-specific parameters?

tuning makes it possible to quickly adapt to new tasks without catastrophic forgetting (Pfeiffer et al

However we contend that the important ingredients that contribute to the success of these parameter-
efficient tuning methods are poorly understood and the connections between them are still unclear
In this paper we aim to answer three questions: (1) How are these methods connected? (2) Do these
methods share design elements that are essential for their effectiveness and what are they? (3) Can
the effective ingredients of each method be transferred to others to yield more effective variants?
In order to answer these questions we first derive an alternative form of prefix tuning that reveals
prefix tuning’s close connections with adapters (§3 1) Based on this we then devise a unified frame-
work that frames the aforementioned methods as different ways to modify the hidden representations
of frozen PLMs (§3 2) Our unified framework decomposes previous methods along a shared set
of design dimensions such as the function used to perform the modification the position in which
to impose this modification and how to integrate the modification This framework allows us to
transfer design choices across approaches to propose new variants such as adapters with multiple
heads (§3 3) In experiments we first show that existing parameter-efficient tuning methods still
lag behind full fine-tuning on higher-resource and challenging tasks (§4 2) as exemplified in Fig-
ure 2 Then we utilize the unified framework to identify critical design choices and validate the
proposed variants empirically (§4 3-4 6) Our experiments on four NLP benchmarks covering text

demonstrate that the proposed variant uses less parameters than existing methods while being more
effective matching full fine-tuning results on all four tasks

Prefix Tuning for Language Generation [?]

• Prefix stores task-specific information at each transformer layers input

• During training, only the prefix can be optimized

• Catastrophic forgetting is not possible as the original parameters are still there!

• Note: The prefix is a continuous prompt/representation, not a hard prompt!

• Note: Prefix vectors are concatenated to each transformer layer Key and Value vectors!

input elements, which are usually structured as a tensor. For example, quantizing a 32-bit
Floating Point (FP32) tensor into a Int8 tensor with range [ 127, 127]:
• Video lecture on Adapters ✓ ▲ ◆
127
XInt8 = round X FP32
= round(cFP32 · XFP32 ), (1)
absmax(XFP32 )

where c is the quantization constant or quantization scale. Dequantization is the inverse:

XInt8
dequant(cFP32 , XInt8 ) = = XFP32 (2)
cFP32
The problem with this approach is that if a large magnitude value (i.e., an outlier) occurs in the input
tensor, then the quantization bins—certain bit combinations—are not utilized well with few or no
numbers quantized in some bins. To prevent the outlier issue, a common approach is to chunk the
input tensor into blocks that are independently quantized, each with their own quantization constant c.
This can be formalized as follows: We chunk the input tensor X 2 Rb⇥h into n contiguous blocks of
size B by flattening the input tensor and slicing the linear segment into n = (b ⇥ h)/B blocks. We
quantize these blocks independently with Equation 1 to create a quantized tensor and n quantization
constants ci .
Low-rank Adapters Low-rank Adapter (LoRA) finetuning [28] is a method that reduces memory
requirements by using a small set of trainable parameters, often termed adapters, while not updating
the full model parameters which remain fixed. Gradients during stochastic gradient descent are
passed through the fixed pretrained model weights to the adapter, which is updated to optimize the
loss function. LoRA augments a linear projection through an additional factorized projection. Given
a projection XW = Y with X 2 Rb⇥h , W 2 Rh⇥o LoRA computes:
Y = XW + sXL1 L2 , (3)

where L1 2 Rh⇥r and L2 2 Rr⇥o , and s is a scalar.

Memory Requirement of Parameter-Efficient Finetuning One important point of discussion is
the memory requirement of LoRA during training both in terms of the number and size of adapters
used. Since the memory footprint of LoRA is so minimal, we can use more adapters to improve
434
performance without significantly increasing the total memory used. While LoRA was designed as a

Multi-task and Transfer Learning Types of Learning

• Multi-task learning is a general term for training on
multiple tasks

• Transfer learning is a type of multi-task learning

where we only really care about one of the tasks

• Domain adaptation is a type of transfer learning,

where the output is the same, but we want to
handle different topics or genres, etc.
[?]

 • Using the same model for different tasks and data sets! Not really a new idea [?]
• General idea: Be clever and opportunistic w.r.t the available raw and annotated data in
all languages!
• Simple ideas help: “Don’t Stop Pretraining: Adapt Language Models to Domains and
Tasks”[?]

Motivations for Multi-Task Learning

Motivation 1: Multi-task to increase data
Perform multi-tasking when one of your two tasks has sparse(r) data
• General domain → specific domain (e.g. web text → historical text)
• High-resourced language → low-resourced language (e.g. English → Telugu)
• Plain text→ labeled data (e.g. language modeling → syntactic parsing)

Motivation 2: Multi-task to let related tasks profit from each other

• POS-Tagging, NER-Tagging etc.
• Predicting eye gaze and summarization of texts [?]

Summary

• Transfer learning helps to solve training data sparsity issues

• Multi-task learning is highly beneficial for related tasks

• Multilingual models might reduce the multitude of models needed in a multilingual

world

• Combining multitasking and multilingual modeling in and end-2-end fashion is power-

ful, but needs to be done carefully
