摘要

基于Transformer架构的预训练嵌入在NLP社区掀起了一股风暴。我们展示了它们可以在数学上被重构为矢量因素的总和，并展示了如何使用这种重构来研究每个组件的影响。我们提供的证据表明，多头关注和前馈在所有下游应用中并不同样有用，以及微调对整个嵌入空间的影响的定量概述。这种方法使我们能够与以前的广泛研究建立联系，从向量空间各向异性到注意力权重。

How to Dissect a Muppet: The Structure of Transformer Embedding Spaces

Abstract Pretrained embeddings based on the Transformer architecture have taken the NLP community by storm. We show that they can mathematically be reframed as a sum of vector factors and showcase how to use this reframing to study the impact of each component. We provide evidence that multi-head attentions and feed-forwards are not equally useful in all downstream applications, as well as a quantitative overview of the effects of finetuning on the overall embedding space. This approach allows us to draw connections to a wide range of previous studies, from vector space anisotropy to attention weights.

期刊介绍： The highly regarded quarterly journal Computational Linguistics has a companion journal called Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics. This open access journal publishes articles in all areas of natural language processing and is an important resource for academic and industry computational linguists, natural language processing experts, artificial intelligence and machine learning investigators, cognitive scientists, speech specialists, as well as linguists and philosophers. The journal disseminates work of vital relevance to these professionals on an annual basis.
