This study showed it matters which datacenter is used, even within the same organization. Our #MeenaBot was most expensive to train within Google: took 84 accelerator years, carbon emission ~ 1/2 of a round trip flight SF-NY, but Evolved transformer helped saved 48tCO2 (30%)!

A thorough study of CO2 emissions linked to large neural net training from Google.
It focuses on Google's NLP models & computing infra.
But an equivalent study at FB would yield similar results.

On behalf of the entire Google Research & @GoogleAI communities, I'm excited to share an overview of some of our research in 2020.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this work possible!

Nice progress from FB! Glad to see that #MeenaBot has motivated further research into training chatbots at scale: now Blender is up to 9.4B params. Though not a direct apple-to-apple comparison, Blender seems to excell in engagingness & humanness. Paper: https://t.co/3oeUuPVXBh.
Really proud to announce the open source release of Blender by @facebookai. The largest ever open-domain chatbot which feels more human than any other bot according to human evaluators. Looking forward to what the AI community can build on top of it! https://t.co/YX0ZGRMZbE
A nice set of NLP papers including our own ELECTRA efficient pretraining (https://t.co/mMyV7VXXsI) and #MeenaBot (https://t.co/MsicCdRD9J). Many cool lines of research and I am particularly amazed by advances on Information Retrieval!

ICYMI, in this article I highlight some NLP trends and topics with a focus on summarizing the what, how, and why of a selection of interesting and important NLP papers published in the last few months.

sample-and-rerank as proposed in #MeenaBot (https://t.co/5G6aiaRlkE) is a simple strategy that gives both diversity and quality for the generation, especially if your model has low perplexity!
The 101 for text generation! 💪💪💪
This is an overview of the main decoding methods and how to use them super easily in Transformers with GPT2, XLNet, Bart, T5,...
It includes greedy decoding, beam search, top-k/nucleus sampling,...: https://t.co/E40KOeIImd by @PatrickPlaten

What's the difference between recent works in semi-supervised learning? Key: consistency training (UDA, FixMatch, ReMixMatch, ICT, etc.) and self-training (#NoisyStudent), see photo below and my recent talk (https://t.co/DBTQH2xHHL with bonus slides on #MeenaBot!).

Interesting read, #MeenaBot are we there yet? Not quite, but this is an impressive step forward! - "Meena scored 79% SSA, Mitsuku and Cleverbot 56%, DialoGPT 48%, and XiaoIce 31%.[.. ] Google measured the average human SSA at 86%" https://t.co/uYfP9fLaOH via @venturebeat
My deep doubts about #MeenaBot value:
"The big issue I see is that Meena's text predictions are almost unpredictable, just because outcomes are generated from statistically trained corpora."

😓I have an idea about what #GoogleAssistant should be.

About #MeenaBot data (asked by @GaryMarcus & others):
1. Only one occurrence of "Hayvard" in the training data.
2. The sentence that contains "Hayvard" has meaning similar to "Guess what, I obtained my bachelor from Hayvard."
3. No occurrence of "cow*" in the same conversation.
@xpearhead @lmthang My favorite conversation is below. The Hayvard pun was funny but I totally missed the steer joke at the end until it was pointed out today by @Blonkhart

I found out today that a chatbot can make better jokes than I can 😩 #MeenaBot

#MeenaBot weakeness:
1. comparison with @mitsokubot and Cleverbot is misleading. Apples and oranges! #Mitsuku is a great scripted chatbot made by a single human author (Sir Steve Warswick). #Cleverbot is an old useless game.
2. #MeenaBot is not available for peers reviews.

Towards a Conversational Agent that Can Chat About…Anything
The very interesting part for me is the focus on #conversationalAI Human Evaluation Metrics ~ Sensibleness, Perplexity, Personality, Factuality

I'm perplexed by excitements about overrated #MeenaBot
@bretkinsella ask: "Could this become a conversation engine behind #googleassistant at some point?"

@lmthang @quocleix Thanks @lmthang. Great to hear the commitment to #reproducibility. Claims asides, #MeenaBot is really impressive work. Congrats!
@lmthang @an_open_mind @quocleix Congrats on the work with #MeenaBot @lmthang, is there an API where I could use it? (sorry if this was published somewhere but I couldn't find it)
@an_open_mind If this is about #MeenaBot, totally understand the sentiment & we are working hard on making sure the community can verify & reproduce. Our research (cc @quocleix) has always been very open whenever we can. Btw, conversations here are not cherry picked :) https://t.co/rkNykJnun0
