3.1 Bidirectional language models

  1. What objective does the ELMo biLM optimize?
    It jointly maximizes forward and backward log-likelihoods: \(\sum_{k=1}^{N} \big(\log p(t_k \mid t_1, \ldots, t_{k-1}) + \log p(t_k \mid t_{k+1}, \ldots, t_N)\big)\), with separate LSTMs per direction but shared token representation and softmax parameters.
