Unsupervised Domain Clusters in Pretrained Language Models
Open accessAbstract
The notion of "in-domain data" in NLP is often over-simplistic and vague, as textual data varies in many nuanced linguistic aspects such as topic, style or level of formality.In addition, domain labels are many times unavailable, making it challenging to build domainspecific systems.We show that massive pretrained language models implicitly learn sentence representations that cluster by domains without supervision -suggesting a simple datadriven definition of domains in textual data.We harness this property and propose domain data selection methods based on such models, which require only a small set of in-domain monolingual data.We evaluate our data selection methods for neural machine translation across five diverse domains, where they outperform an established approach as measured by both BLEU and by precision and recall of sentence selection with respect to an oracle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
