• Abstract: Answering simple questions over knowledge graphs is a well-studied problem in question answering. Previous approaches for this task built on recurrent and convolutional neural network based architectures that use pretrained word embeddings. It was recently shown that finetuning pretrained transformer networks (e.g. BERT) can outperform previous approaches on various natural language processing tasks. In this work, we investigate how well BERT performs on SimpleQuestions and provide an evaluation of both BERT and BiLSTM-based models in datasparse scenarios.

  In this paper, we study the in-context learning capabilities of transformers in decision-making problems. We introduce and study Decision-Pretrained Transformer (DPT), a supervised pretraining method where the transformer predicts an optimal action. We find that the pretrained transformer can be used to solve a range of RL problems in-context, exhibiting both exploration online and conservatism offline.

  This work reports results on adopting prompt-based training of transformers for textitscholarly knowledge graph object prediction It deviates from the other works proposing entity and relation extraction pipelines for predicting objects of a scholarly knowledge graph. We find that (i) per expectations, transformer models when tested out-of-the-box underperform on a new domain of data, (ii) prompt-based training of the models achieve performance boosts of up to 40% in a relaxed evaluation setting.

  We find that pre-trained language models like BERT have a potential ability to learn sequentially, even without any sparse memory replay. Our experiments reveal that BERT can actually generate high quality representations for previously learned tasks in a long term, under extremely sparse replay or even no replay.

  We propose a new efficient tuning approach for vision-language models (VLMs) named Task Residual Tuning (TaskRes) TaskRes explicitly decouples the prior knowledge of the pre-trained models and new knowledge regarding a target task. The proposed TaskRes is simple yet effective, which significantly outperforms previous methods on 11 benchmark datasets.

We find that one can prevent such shortcut with appropriate architecture modification or careful data preparation.
