Abstract
Abstract This paper describes gft (general fine-tuning), a little language for deep nets, introduced at an ACL-2022 tutorial. gft makes deep nets accessible to a broad audience including non-programmers. It is standard practice in many fields to use statistics packages such as R. One should not need to know how to program in order to fit a regression or classification model and to use the model to make predictions for novel inputs. With gft, fine-tuning and inference are similar to fit and predict in regression and classification. gft demystifies deep nets; no one would suggest that regression-like methods are “intelligent.”
期刊介绍:
Natural Language Engineering meets the needs of professionals and researchers working in all areas of computerised language processing, whether from the perspective of theoretical or descriptive linguistics, lexicology, computer science or engineering. Its aim is to bridge the gap between traditional computational linguistics research and the implementation of practical applications with potential real-world use. As well as publishing research articles on a broad range of topics - from text analysis, machine translation, information retrieval and speech analysis and generation to integrated systems and multi modal interfaces - it also publishes special issues on specific areas and technologies within these topics, an industry watch column and book reviews.
