In the last few decades, text mining has been used to extract knowledge from free texts. Applying neural networks and deep learning to natural language processing (NLP) tasks has led to many accomplishments for real-world language problems over the years. The developments of the last five years have resulted in techniques that have allowed for the practical application of transfer learning in NLP. The advances in the field have been substantial, and the milestone of outperforming human baseline performance based on the general language understanding evaluation has been achieved. This paper implements a targeted literature review to outline, describe, explain, and put into context the crucial techniques that helped achieve this milestone. The research presented here is a targeted review of neural language models that present vital steps towards a general language representation model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
