Exploring the Limits of Transfer Learning with a Unified Text-to-Text Transformer

In this episode of Machine Learning Street Talk, Tim Scarfe, Yannic Kilcher and Connor Shorten chat about Large-scale Transfer Learning in Natural Language Processing. The Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer (T5) model from Google AI does an exhaustive survey of what’s important for Transfer Learning in NLP and what’s not. In this conversation, we go through the key takeaways of the paper, text-to-text input/output format, architecture choice, dataset size and composition, fine-tuning strategy, an...
