About XLNet
XLNet is a new unsupervised language representation learning method based on a novel generalized permutation language modeling objective. Additionally, XLNet employs Transformer-XL as the backbone model, exhibiting excellent performance for language tasks involving long context. Overall, XLNet achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) results on various downstream language tasks including question answering, natural language inference, sentiment analysis, and document ranking.

BERT
BERT is a large language model and a method of pre-training language representations. Pre-training refers to how BERT is first trained on a large source of text, such as Wikipedia. You can then apply the training results to other Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, such as question answering and sentiment analysis. With BERT and AI Platform Training, you can train a variety of NLP models in about 30 minutes.

GPT-4
GPT-4 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4) is a large-scale unsupervised language model, yet to be released by OpenAI. GPT-4 is the successor to GPT-3 and part of the GPT-n series of natural language processing models, and was trained on a dataset of 45TB of text to produce human-like text generation and understanding capabilities. Unlike most other NLP models, GPT-4 does not require additional training data for specific tasks. Instead, it can generate text or answer questions using only its own internally generated context as input. GPT-4 has been shown to be able to perform a wide variety of tasks without any task specific training data such as translation, summarization, question answering, sentiment analysis and more.

InstructGPT
InstructGPT is an open-source framework for training language models to generate natural language instructions from visual input. It uses a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) model and the state-of-the-art object detector, Mask R-CNN, to detect objects in images and generate natural language sentences that describe the image. InstructGPT is designed to be effective across domains such as robotics, gaming and education; it can assist robots in navigating complex tasks with natural language instructions, or help students learn by providing descriptive explanations of processes or events.

RoBERTa
RoBERTa builds on BERT’s language masking strategy, wherein the system learns to predict intentionally hidden sections of text within otherwise unannotated language examples. RoBERTa, which was implemented in PyTorch, modifies key hyperparameters in BERT, including removing BERT’s next-sentence pretraining objective, and training with much larger mini-batches and learning rates. This allows RoBERTa to improve on the masked language modeling objective compared with BERT and leads to better downstream task performance. We also explore training RoBERTa on an order of magnitude more data than BERT, for a longer amount of time. We used existing unannotated NLP datasets as well as CC-News, a novel set drawn from public news articles.
