Radford and colleagues: GPT-2 and unsupervised multitask language modeling

Trained GPT-2 as a large autoregressive transformer on WebText and documented zero-shot transfer to several language tasks without task-specific fine-tuning.

What is recorded here?

Trained GPT-2 as a large autoregressive transformer on WebText and documented zero-shot transfer to several language tasks without task-specific fine-tuning.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The 2019 paper reports task- and setup-specific zero-shot results; it is distinct from GPT-1 and GPT-3 and does not show general reasoning reliability.

Read the original work

This English explanation is an editorial reading view. It does not replace the complete original work or certify its science.
