Aurora-M: Open Source Continual Pre-training for Multilingual Language and Code

COLING 2025industry

Pretrained language models are integral part of AI applications, but their high computational cost for training limits accessibility. Initiatives such as Bloom and StarCoder aim to democratize access to pretrained models for collaborative community development. Despite these efforts, such models enc…

Outlier Dimensions that Disrupt Transformers are Driven by Frequency

EMNLP 2022finding

While Transformer-based language models are generally very robust to pruning, there is the recently discovered outlier phenomenon: disabling only 48 out of 110M parameters in BERT-base drops its performance by nearly 30% on MNLI. We replicate the original evidence for the outlier phenomenon and we l…
