GPT-3 shows that scaling an autoregressive language model to 175 billion parameters enables strong few-shot performance across diverse NLP tasks via in-context prompting without fine-tuning.
LLM.int8() performs 8-bit inference for transformers up to 175B parameters with no accuracy loss by combining vector-wise quantization for most features with 16-bit mixed-precision handling of systematic outlier dimensions.
OPT releases open decoder-only transformers up to 175B parameters that match GPT-3 performance at one-seventh the carbon cost, along with code and training logs.
DeBERTa improves BERT-style models by separating content and relative position in attention and adding absolute positions to the decoder, yielding consistent gains on NLU and NLG tasks and the first single-model superhuman score on SuperGLUE.
Longformer uses local windowed attention plus task-specific global attention to achieve linear scaling and state-of-the-art results on long-document language modeling, QA, and summarization after pretraining.
T5 casts all NLP tasks as text-to-text generation, systematically explores pre-training choices, and reaches strong performance on summarization, QA, classification and other tasks via large-scale training on the Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus.
Intra-layer model parallelism in PyTorch enables training of 8.3B-parameter transformers, achieving SOTA perplexity of 10.8 on WikiText103 and 66.5% accuracy on LAMBADA.
Falcon-180B is a 180B-parameter open decoder-only model trained on 3.5 trillion tokens that approaches PaLM-2-Large performance at lower cost and is released with dataset extracts.
Properly filtered web data from CommonCrawl alone trains LLMs that significantly outperform models trained on The Pile, with 600 billion tokens and 1.3B/7.5B parameter models released.
Emergent abilities are capabilities present in large language models but absent in smaller ones and cannot be predicted by extrapolating smaller model performance.
Deduplicating training datasets reduces language model verbatim memorization by 10x, improves training efficiency, and enables more accurate evaluation by cutting train-test overlap.
CTRL is a large conditional transformer language model that uses naturally occurring control codes to steer text generation style and content.
Trained the largest monolithic 530B-parameter transformer language model to date and reported new state-of-the-art zero- and few-shot results on multiple NLP benchmarks.
With better hyperparameters, more data, and longer training, an unchanged BERT-Large architecture matches or exceeds XLNet and other successors on GLUE, SQuAD, and RACE.
Ultra-brief student concern texts analyzed with NLP associate with lower physical activity during academic concern weeks and poorer sleep plus lower heart rate variability during emotional exhaustion weeks, complementing wearable sensing.
This survey reviews the background, key techniques, and evaluation methods for large language models, emphasizing emergent abilities that appear at large scales.
