Hi Jeremy (& Sebastian of course), this is an amazing contribution to the state of the art!

I haven't read things in depth, but am curious - how do these models cope with out of vocabulary terms?

Initially embeddings of OOV terms are initialized to mean embeddings, and then the language model fine-tuning step allows the model to adjust these values.
