While decoder-only Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently dominated the NLP landscape, encoder-only architectures remain a cost-effective and parameter-efficient standard for discriminative tasks. However, classic encoders like BERT are…
BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and ALBERT (A Lite BERT) are methods for pre-training language models which can later be fine-tuned for a variety of Natural Language Understanding tasks. These methods have…
The world of language models is going through turbulent times, better and ever larger models are coming out at an unprecedented speed. However, we argue that, especially for the scientific community, encoder models of up to 1 billion…
Large transformer-based language models, e.g. BERT and GPT-3, outperform previous architectures on most natural language processing tasks. Such language models are first pre-trained on gigantic corpora of text and later used as base-model…
Japanese language models for medical text classification face challenges with complex vocabulary and linguistic structures in radiology reports. This study compared three Japanese models--BERT Base, JMedRoBERTa, and ModernBERT--for…
Current language modeling approaches are built around tokens. Text corpora are split into tokens, and models are trained by performing computations on these tokens, such as predicting the next token given the preceding ones as context. This…
Diversity has been gaining interest in the NLP community in recent years. At the same time, state-of-the-art transformer models such as ModernBERT use very large pre-training datasets, which are driven by size rather than by diversity. This…
We present XPhoneBERT, the first multilingual model pre-trained to learn phoneme representations for the downstream text-to-speech (TTS) task. Our XPhoneBERT has the same model architecture as BERT-base, trained using the RoBERTa…
The most widely used large language models in the social sciences (such as BERT, and its derivatives, e.g. RoBERTa) have a limitation on the input text length that they can process to produce predictions. This is a particularly pressing…
