Diverse Distributions of Self-Supervised Tasks for Meta-Learning in NLP

Abstract

Meta-learning considers the problem of learning an efficient learning process that can leverage its past experience to accurately solve new tasks. However, the efficacy of meta-learning crucially depends on the distribution of tasks available for training, and this is often assumed to be known a priori or constructed from limited supervised datasets. In this work, we aim to provide task distributions for meta-learning by considering self-supervised tasks automatically proposed from unlabeled text, to enable large-scale meta-learning in NLP. We design multiple distributions of self-supervised tasks by considering important aspects of task diversity, difficulty, type, domain, and curriculum, and investigate how they affect meta-learning performance. Our analysis shows that all these factors meaningfully alter the task distribution, some inducing significant improvements in downstream few-shot accuracy of the metalearned models. Empirically, results on 20 downstream tasks show significant improvements in few-shot learning -adding up to +4.2% absolute accuracy (on average) to the previous unsupervised meta-learning method, and perform comparably to supervised methods on the FewRel 2.0 benchmark.

Analysis of Medical Images Using Machine Learning

“…[9] Deep learning, a subfield uof ML, has also shown great promise in medical image analysis. Deep learning algorithms use multiple layers of neural networks to learn increasingly complex features from medical images [11]. These algorithms have been successful in applications such as image segmentation, where the goal is to identify and outline specific structures within an image.…”

A Deep Learning Based Proposed Framework of Privacy Preservation in Cellular System

“…User data privacy is the major issue.to solve the privacy issue different method are proposed. A method of Differential privacy is proposed to solve the privacy problems.in this method privacy can be achieved by adding noise [3]. Drawback of this technique is that it only prevent from gaining additional information from an individual data.…”

Role of GenAI in Automated Code Generation within DevOps Practices: Explore how Generative AI

“…Transformers, exemplified by models like GPT [33], [34] and BERT [35], have gained prominence in code generation tasks [27], [30], [31], enabling models to attend to relevant code contexts and generate code with heightened context awareness [7]. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) [36] prove instrumental in handling code represented as graphs, effectively capturing relationships between code entities [15]. DL techniques excel in capturing complex patterns and generating code with enhanced accuracy [7].…”
