LaMDA: Language Models for Dialog Applications

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We present LaMDA: Language Models for Dialog Applications. LaMDA is a family of Transformer-based neural language models specialized for dialog, which have up to 137B parameters and are pre-trained on 1.56T words of public dialog …

Scaling Instruction-Finetuned Language Models

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Finetuning language models on a collection of datasets phrased as instructions has been shown to improve model performance and generalization to unseen tasks. In this paper we explore instruction finetuning with a particular focus on …
