What changed
Used a shared Transformer with different attention masks to train unidirectional, bidirectional and sequence-to-sequence language objectives, enabling both understanding and generation.
Scientific scope
Used a shared Transformer with different attention masks to train unidirectional, bidirectional and sequence-to-sequence language objectives, enabling both understanding and generation. Combines inherited Transformer and language-modeling objectives through a shared masking scheme. Original method only; later UniLM2/UniLMv2 or unrelated models in the umbrella repository are not included.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof. Combines inherited Transformer and language-modeling objectives through a shared masking scheme.
