Parameter efficient prompt tuning for efficient models at scale

Abstract

Systems and methods for natural language processing can leverage trained prompts to condition a large pre-trained machine-learned model to generate an output for a specific task. For example, a subset of parameters may be trained for the particular task to then be input with a set of input data into the pre-trained machine-learned model to generate the task-specific output. During the training of the prompt, the parameters of the pre-trained machine-learned model can be frozen, which can reduce the computational resources used during training while still leveraging the previously learned data from the pre-trained machine-learned model.
