Recent state-of-the-art NLP pre-trained models also use a language model to learn contextualized text representation. From ELMo (Peter et al., 2018), GPT (Radford et al., 2018) to BERT (Devlin et al., 2018), all of them use language model (LM) to achieve a better result.
Dong et al. present a new model, Unified Language Model (UNILM), to tackle natural language understanding (NLU) and natural language generation (NLG) which is trained by English Wikipedia and BookCorpus. Different from ELMo (Peter et al., 2018), GPT (Radford et al., 2018) and BERT (Devlin et al., 2018), UNILM implement unidirectional language… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
