AI BriefingEncoder-Decoder Warm-starting Technique
Key point
This introduces a Warm-starting technique that leverages pretrained BERT or GPT2 to reduce the training cost of Encoder-Decoder models.
Details
Encoder-Decoder models like T5 and Pegasus deliver excellent performance, but they have the drawback of consuming enormous computing resources for pretraining.
The Warm-starting technique uses checkpoints from models already trained on large-scale data, such as BERT (Encoder-only) or GPT2 (Decoder-only), as the initial values for an Encoder-Decoder model. This allows leveraging existing knowledge instead of training a model from scratch, achieving competitive performance at a much lower cost.
