• Abstract: In recent years, Natural Language Processing (NLP) models have achieved phenomenal success in linguistic and semantic tasks like text classification, machine translation, cognitive dialogue systems, information retrieval via Natural Language Understanding (NLU), and Natural Language Generation (NLG). This feat is primarily attributed due to the seminal Transformer architecture, leading to designs such as BERT, GPT (I, II, III), etc. Although these large-size models have achieved unprecedented performances, they come at high computational costs. Consequently, some of the recent NLP architectures have utilized concepts of transfer learning, pruning, quantization, and knowledge distillation to achieve moderate model sizes while keeping nearly similar performances as achieved by their predecessors. Additionally, to mitigate the data size challenge raised by language models from a knowledge extraction perspective, Knowledge Retrievers have been built to extricate explicit data documents from a large corpus of databases with greater efficiency and accuracy. Recent research has also focused on superior inference by providing efficient attention to longer input sequences. In this paper, we summarize and examine the current state-of-the-art (SOTA) NLP models that have been employed for numerous NLP tasks for optimal performance and efficiency. We provide a detailed understanding and functioning of the different architectures, a taxonomy of NLP designs, comparative evaluations, and future directions in NLP.

  Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across various NLP tasks. Previous research has attempted to distill the knowledge of LLMs into smaller models by generating annotated data. We propose EvoKD: Evolving Knowledge Distillation, which leverages the concept of active learning to interactively enhance the process of data generation using large language models.

  We study the dynamic relationship between the encoded linguistic information and task performance from the viewpoint of Pareto Optimality. We conduct experiments on two popular NLP tasks, i.e., machine translation and language modeling, and investigate the relationship between several kinds of linguistic information and task performances. Our empirical findings suggest that some syntactic information is helpful for NLP tasks whereas encoding more syntactic information does not necessarily lead to better performance.
