Overview
The BertGeneration model is a BERT model that can be leveraged for sequence-to-sequence tasks using
[EncoderDecoderModel] as proposed in Leveraging Pre-trained Checkpoints for Sequence Generation
Tasks by Sascha Rothe, Shashi Narayan, Aliaksei Severyn.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
Unsupervised pretraining of large neural models has recently revolutionized Natural Language Processing. By
warm-starting from the publicly released checkpoints, NLP practitioners have pushed the state-of-the-art on multiple
benchmarks while saving significant amounts of compute time. So far the focus has been mainly on the Natural Language
Understanding tasks. In this paper, we demonstrate the efficacy of pre-trained checkpoints for Sequence Generation. We
developed a Transformer-based sequence-to-sequence model that is compatible with publicly available pre-trained BERT,
