ERNIE-2.0

Introduction

ERNIE 2.0 is a continual pre-training framework proposed by Baidu in 2019, which builds and learns incrementally pre-training tasks through constant multi-task learning. Experimental results demonstrate that ERNIE 2.0 outperforms BERT and XLNet on 16 tasks including English tasks on GLUE benchmarks and several common tasks in Chinese.
