Making Pre-trained Language Models Good Long-tailed Learners
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
The results demonstrate that prompt-tuning exactly makes pre-trained language models at least good long-tailed learners. ...
The summary is that the classifier structure and parameterization form the key to making good long-tailed learners, in comparison with the less important input structure. ...
Therefore, we are inspired to hypothesize that Prompt-tuning can make PLMs good long-tailed learners, as pre-trained knowledge is intuitively learned from a long-tailed vocabulary. ...
