Minimum Bayes Risk decoding has recently gained momentum in #NLProc.
However, a generic implementation for @huggingface Transformers was missing. Check out our new 𝗺𝗯𝗿 🔥repo, which is designed to work with any model and metric on the Hub: github.com/ZurichNLP/mbr

It has been shown that MBR decoding significantly outperforms MAP decoding, but its high cost makes it impractical for most applications. Can we harvest the quality gains of MBR at train time w/o sacrificing inference-time efficiency? TLDR: yes!

🌟 Just published "SignBank+: Multilingual Sign Language Translation Dataset" (w/ @Jiang_Zifan).
Just $500 in dirty dataset cleanup with ChatGPT, leads to a 20-30 BLEU score boost—no changes to the models required.
Check out the paper!

New blog post about diffusion language models: benanne.github.io/2023/01/09…
Diffusion models have completely taken over generative modelling of perceptual signals -- why is autoregression still the name of the game for language modelling? And can we do anything about that?
