Patent number: 11941346Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for effectively and efficiently summarizing long documents. A transformer is provided with bottom-up and top-down inference combined to effectively capture long-range dependency. In the bottom-up inference, each token only attends to nearby tokens within a window of a specified size. In the top-down inference, full self-attention is given using units with coarser granularity. The bottom-up-inferred token representations are then updated with the top-down representations, which is achieved with cross-attention between the top and token levels. Multiple levels of top-down representations with increasingly coarser granularity can be used if documents are extremely long.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Bo Pang, Erik Nijkamp, Yingbo Zhou, Caiming Xiong

Publication number: 20230419027Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a prompt-based transfer learning method that employs shared latent space prompt tuning). Specifically, a shared latent space is assumed, among all source and target tasks, where each vector in the space captures a basis skill to do a particular task. Given an instance (from either a source task or a target task), it is first encoded into an instance representation vector and then queries the latent space, which yields a skill vector for this instance. This vector modulates a frozen model, via soft prompts which are a simple prompt transformation (the prompt generator in FIG. 3) of the basis skill vector, to generate an answer for the instance. The latent space and prompt transformation are learned end-to-end in upstream pre-training on source tasks.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Bo Pang, Semih Yavuz, Caiming Xiong, Yingbo Zhou
