02RESEARCH & INNOVATION

BERTS ARE IN-CONTEXT GENERATIVE LEARNERS

In an alternative world, BERT models would have been discovered to be in-context learners instead of their decoder-only GPT counterparts. This paper explores when that is true and finds that, unsurprisingly, BERTs are excellent at information retrieval but struggle with knowledge acquisition - likely due to the bidirectional attention mechanism.

TEXTGRAD: AUTOMATIC DIFFERENTIATION WITH TEXT

This paper explores the idea of treating a language model that can update text as a backpropagation system. The researchers find substantial improvements in benchmark performance, not compute matched, against baseline models.
