How the World Got Into WW2

Video Summary

The paper proposes a new method for training language models that is based on the idea of self-supervised learning. The method, called "self-supervised learning with contrastive estimation," involves training the model to predict the next word in a sequence of words, but with the addition of a "negative" example that is not the next word in the sequence. The model is then trained to minimize the distance between the predicted word and the actual next word, while maximizing the distance between the predicted word and the negative example. The authors argue that this method helps to improve the generalization ability of the model, as it forces the model to learn the underlying relationships between words.
