4.2. Outlook

  1. Which open problems did the T5 authors highlight?
    The inconvenience of large models (need cheaper models via distillation, parameter sharing, conditional computation), more efficient ways to extract knowledge than denoising on a trillion tokens, formalizing similarity between pre-training and downstream tasks, and language-agnostic models.
