Large, pre-trained language models (PLMs) such as BERT and GPT have drastically
changed the Natural Language Processing (NLP) field. For numerous NLP tasks …

Modern deep neural networks, particularly recent large language models, come with
massive model sizes that require significant computational and storage resources. To …

Fine-tuning large pre-trained language models on downstream tasks has become an
important paradigm in NLP. However, common practice fine-tunes all of the parameters in a …

Transformer models have achieved remarkable results in various natural language tasks,
but they are often prohibitively large, requiring massive memories and computational …

This paper reexamines the research on out-of-distribution (OOD) robustness in the field of
NLP. We find that the distribution shift settings in previous studies commonly lack adequate …

Pre-trained language models can be fine-tuned to solve diverse NLP tasks, including in few-
shot settings. Thus fine-tuning allows the model to quickly pick up task-specific" skills," but …

Large Transformer-based models have exhibited superior performance in various natural
language processing and computer vision tasks. However, these models contain enormous …

The ability to generalise well is one of the primary desiderata of natural language
processing (NLP). Yet, what'good generalisation'entails and how it should be evaluated is …

Abstract Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) incorporates a network of interconnected systems
and devices that receive, cache, process, and analyse data in close communication with the …

Advancements in LLMs have recently unveiled challenges tied to computational efficiency
and continual scalability due to their requirements of huge parameters, making the …
