Long (>2048 tokens) sequences. But GP is too focused on hyping XLNet for some reason. There are much more elegant attempts at improving the transformer architecture in just the past 8 months: Reformer, Performer, Macaron Net, and my curr

Bravo. I get why this guy has a following now. BTW, I think Vonnegut had this right in 1969: "I am a Tralfamadorian, seeing all time as you might see a stretch of the Rocky Mountains. All time is all time. It does not change. It does n

This terminology fuzziness is a direct result of SEO. "MVP" = Good Thing in entrepreneurial circles, so things that are not viable products are labeled as such because they want to be associated with that keyword.

I think you're conflating "generality" of NN architecture and "generality" of the inductive bias the NN models.

I guess it's both. It reads like plagiarism of bad plagiarism.

Pretty much that, yeah. Thanks for the link. That kind of article sets the intuition, and papers like these give it a better theoretical treatment: - https://openreview.net/pdf?id=HJlnC1rKPB - https://openreview.
