Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a training framework for generative NLP models. Specifically, the training input, e.g., in the form of a sequence of tokens representing a user-agent dialogue, may be randomly masked for a few spans, which can be one or more tokens, one or more words, one or more sentences, or one or more paragraphs. These masked spans are replaced with their embeddings generated from pre-trained large language models are then used for training the NLP model.
