This paper presents a novel learning method for language models called “Freeform Language Modeling”. The authors propose a new technique for training language models on large datasets in an unsupervised way. This method utilizes a two-stage process, first training a generative language model to generate text samples and then fine-tuning the pre-trained model to perform natural language tasks.

The proposed method employs a generative neural network to learn from large unstructured datasets without any labels. The authors use the Generative Pre-training framework (GPT) to achieve this task, which is a transformer-based language model. Furthermore, the authors employ the Freebase taxonomy to provide the generic structure of the dataset and the OpenAI GPT-3 model as their pre-trained language model.

The authors evaluate their approach on two different datasets: the SQuAD dataset for question answering and the WikiText-103 dataset for language modeling. They achieved state-of-the-art performance on both tasks and outperformed existing methods. Additionally, they conducted experiments to analyze the effect of different hyperparameters such as the number of layers, learning rate, and batch size. They found that the best results were obtained when using a smaller number of layers and a larger learning rate.

Overall, this paper proposes a novel approach to language modeling based on Freeform Language Modeling. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of their approach on two different tasks and compare it to existing methods. The results show that their approach can effectively improve natural language understanding and achieve state-of-the-art results.
