Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a training unit configured to share encoding layers from a first layer to a (N-n)-th layer having parameters trained in advance by a first model and a second model, and train parameters of a third model through multi-task training including training of the first model and retraining of the second model for a predetermined task, wherein N and n are integers equal to or greater than 1, and satisfies N>n, and in the third model, encoding layers from an ((N-n)+1)-th layer to an N-th layer having parameters trained in advance are divided into the first model and the second model.

Claims (31)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing computer executable instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the information processing apparatus to:

share encoding layers from a first layer to a (N-n)-th layer having parameters trained in advance by a first model and a second model; and

train parameters of a third model through multi-task training including training of the first model and retraining of the second model for a predetermined task,

wherein N and n are integers equal to or greater than 1, and satisfies N>n, and in the third model, and

encoding layers from an ((N-n)+1)-th layer to an N-th layer having parameters trained in advance are divided into the first model and the second model.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

use an error between second data output by inputting first data included in training data of the task to the first model and supervised data included in the training data to update parameters of the encoding layers from the first layer to the (N-n)-th layer shared by the first model and the second model and parameters of the encoding layers from the ((N-n)+1)-th layer to the N-th layer of the first model, and

set data obtained by processing third data as fourth data and supervised data corresponding to the fourth data as fifth data, and use an error between sixth data output by inputting the fourth data to the second model and the fifth data to update the parameters of the encoding layers from the first layer to the (N-n)-th layer shared by the first model and the second model and parameters of the encoding layers from the ((N-n)+1)-th layer to the N-th layer of the second model.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first data is data belonging to a first domain, and

the third data is data different from the first domain and belonging to a second domain that is a target of the task.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the task is a machine reading comprehension task, and the encoding layers are transformer layers of BERT,

the first data includes a token sequence including a question sentence and a document, and a segment id associated with 0 in the question sentence and 1 in the document, and

the fifth data includes a token sequence in which a part of the sentence represented by the third data is masked and a segment id of all 0s.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to output data according to the predetermined task using the parameters trained in advance and data input to the first model.

6 . An information processing method comprising:

sharing encoding layers from a first layer to a (N-n)-th layer having parameters trained in advance by a first model and a second model; and

training parameters of a third model through multi-task training including training of the first model and retraining of the second model for a predetermined task,

wherein N and n are integers equal to or greater than 1, and satisfies N>n, and in the third model, and

encoding layers from an ((N-n)+1)-th layer to an N-th layer having parameters trained in advance are divided into the first model and the second model.

7 . The information processing method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

outputting data according to the predetermined task using the parameters trained in advance and data input to the first model.

8 . A non-transitory computable-readable recording medium storing a program storing computer executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to:

share encoding layers from a first layer to a (N-n)-th layer having parameters trained in advance by a first model and a second model; and

train parameters of a third model through multi-task training including training of the first model and retraining of the second model for a predetermined task,

wherein N and n are integers equal to or greater than 1, and satisfies N>n, and in the third model, and

encoding layers from an ((N-n)+1)-th layer to an N-th layer having parameters trained in advance are divided into the first model and the second model.
