Multitask Prompted Training Enables Zero-Shot Task Generalization
Written for the Research library (claude-opus-5-5) from the paper text. Original — arxiv.org/pdf/2110.08207
Summary
Large language models such as GPT-3 can handle unseen tasks zero-shot. However, this ability shows up only at large scale and depends heavily on how a prompt is phrased. The authors ask whether such generalization can be produced deliberately through explicit supervised multitask training, rather than relying on task-like data that happens to appear in a pretraining corpus. They built a templating language and a public crowdsourcing interface, PromptSource, to convert many English datasets from the Hugging Face datasets library into natural-language input/target pairs, with several differently worded prompts per dataset. Datasets were grouped into tasks by format, and entire task groups were excluded from training so the evaluation measured transfer to genuinely new tasks. Fine-tuning a variant of the T5 encoder-decoder on this mixture produced T0. Although T0 is about sixteen times smaller than GPT-3, it matched or beat GPT-3 on most held-out datasets and also performed well on BIG-bench. This shows that zero-shot task transfer need not require massive scale, and the released prompts and checkpoints are a reusable resource.
Key points
- The training and evaluation pool covers 12 tasks and 62 English datasets. Held-out task groups include natural language inference (ANLI, CB, RTE), coreference resolution (WSC, Winogrande), sentence completion (COPA, HellaSwag, Story Cloze) and word sense disambiguation (WiC).
- T0 equals or surpasses GPT-3 on 9 of 11 held-out datasets despite being about 16× smaller. Larger-data variants, T0+ and T0++, were also trained.
- On BIG-bench, T0 outperforms a large baseline language model on 13 of 14 tasks, and it beats models up to 6× its size.
- Training on more prompts per dataset raises median held-out accuracy and reduces variance across prompt wordings. Adding more datasets usually raises the median but does not consistently reduce variance.
- Models are released at github.com/bigscience-workshop/t-zero and prompts at github.com/bigscience-workshop/promptsource.
