Abstract:We explore the knowledge transfer in the simple multi-task encoder-agnostic transformer-based models on five dialog tasks: emotion classification, sentiment classification, toxicity classification, intent classification, and topic classification. We show that these mo dels’ accuracy differs from the analogous single-task models by ∼0.9%. These results hold for the multiple transformer backbones. At the same time, these models have the same backbone for all tasks, which allows them to have about 0.1% more param… Show more
