# NPM
|
| 6 |
+
|
| 7 |
+
NPM is a nonparametric masked language model, pretrained on English text data.
|
| 8 |
+
It was introduced by ["Nonparametric Masked Language Modeling"][paper]
|
| 9 |
+
and first released in [facebookresearch/NPM][repo].
|
| 10 |
+
|
| 11 |
+
### Model description
|
| 12 |
+
|
| 13 |
+
NPM consists of an encoder and a reference corpus, and models a nonparametric distribution over a reference corpus.
|
| 14 |
+
The key idea is to map all the phrases in the corpus into a dense vector space using the
|
| 15 |
+
encoder and, when given a query with a MASK at inference, use the encoder to locate the nearest
|
| 16 |
+
phrase from the corpus and fill in the MASK.
|
| 17 |
+
|
| 18 |
+
### Intended uses & limitations
|
| 19 |
+
While this repo includes the encoder weights, NPM has to be used together with a datstore.
|
| 20 |
+
For more details on how to use NPM, please refer to the [original repo][repo].
|
| 21 |
+
|
| 22 |
+
Note that this model is primarily for filling in a MASK token. Future work can investigate how to use NPM for text generation.
|
| 23 |
+
|
| 24 |
+
### Training procedure
|
| 25 |
+
|
| 26 |
+
NPM was trained on English Wikipedia (August 2019) and an English portion of CC-News (Mackenzie et al. (2020), February 2019), which contains 13B tokens in total.
|
| 27 |
+
NPM used the model architecture and initial weights of RoBERTa large (Liu et al., 2019), consisting of 354M parameters.
|
| 28 |
+
Training is done for 100,000 steps, using thirty-two 32GB GPUs.
|
| 29 |
+
|
| 30 |
+
More details about training can be found in the [paper][paper].
|
| 31 |
+
Code for training NPM can be found in the [original repo][repo].
|
| 32 |
+
|
| 33 |
+
### Evaluation results
|
| 34 |
+
NPM is evaluated on nine closed-set tasks (tasks with a small set of options given)
|
| 35 |
+
and seven open-set tasks (tasks whose answers are arbitrary-length).
|
| 36 |
+
NPM consistently outperforms significantly larger models such as GPT-3, OPT and T5.
|
| 37 |
+
Detailed results can be found from the [paper][paper].
