@DamienTeney Thanks @DamienTeney for the encouragement! The higher spearman's correlation shows the length is more adaptive to shorter and longer length summaries. In the Appendix (Figure 5 and Table 7) Curation Corpus and CNN/DM dataset we get improved OOD performance for longer summaries.
I am so excited by our latest work on ArXiv!
TL;DR: We apply NVIB to pretrained Transformers which allows for an information theoretic post-training regularisation. With no weight updates we achieve improved performance in out-of-domain generalisation!

I am really excited our short paper "Learning to Abstract with Nonparametric Variational Information Bottleneck" got accepted to the findings of EMNLP 2023!
A big thanks to my college Melika Behjati and supervisor James Henderson
🤖🧠NEW PAPER🧠🤖
Bayesian models can learn rapidly. Neural networks can handle messy, naturalistic data. How can we combine these strengths?
Our answer: Use meta-learning to distill Bayesian priors into a neural network!

We propose to model Transformer embeddings as nonparametric mixture distributions using Dirichlet processes. @FabioFehr
I am very excited to announce my first paper towards my PhD has been accepted at @iclr_conf 2023 in Kigali, Rwanda!

TL;DR: we propose an MLP-Mixer whose parameters are modulated by an MLP. It avoids the O(T^2), captures long-range dependencies attention-style, and is easier to meta-optimize!
