Can you explain the domain-only model overtaking ULMFiT at 65k(?) unlabeled examples? Just noise, or is the ULM contribution competing with the domain model in some way?

I think in this case the alignment between unlabeled domain data and the language task supports a convergence in language task performance. One argument to continue to prefer the ULM+domain model is that it is likely more generally capable if you remain in same domain but switch to a task that is less directly related to your unlabeled data. I haven’t seen any research that directly speaks to that intuition so it’s a good area for further study.
