Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for facilitating the building and use of natural language understanding models. The systems and methods identify a plurality of tokens and use them to generate one or more pre-trained natural language models using a transformer. The transformer disentangles the content embedding and positional embedding in the computation of its attention matrix. Systems and methods are also provided to facilitate self-training of the pre-trained natural language model by utilizing multi-step decoding to better reconstruct masked tokens and improve pre-training convergence.
