Re:GPT-3: Language Models Are Few-Shot Learners
on Friday May 29, 2020 @01:50AM (#23346652)
Author here: Sorry for the confusing formatting on the task descriptions at the end of the paper. That "4" is the human-generated target completion, not a model generated completion. I'm not sure whether the model got that particular question correct, but from Table 3.7 that GPT-3 has 36.5% accuracy on DROP in the few-shot setting.
Many other readers were confused by this so we'll update the formatting to say "target completion" to make this more clear.

I agree that the phrase "non-specialized" is a bit tricky. Ants are mostly non-specialized in structure (there are only a handful of forms within the colony), but individuals take on specialized behavior based on the conditions that their put in. I think stem cells could be a better metaphor.

Here's an implementation of the latter try operator in swift.
extension Optional {
func try<U>(f: (T) -> U) -> Optional<U> {
if let unwrapped = self {
return f(unwrapped)
} else {
return nil
}
}
}

In Swift, you have to signal and guard against the nil.
In ruby, you choose whether to signal and you choose whether to guard. Here are some ruby examples that may be more clear:
Does not signal
user = User.find_by_favorite_dinosaur("Dromiceiomimus")
def print_favorite_dinosaur(user)
p "User's favorite dinosaur is #{user.dino})"
end
def print_favorite_dinosaur(user)
if user
p "User's favorite dinosaur is #{user.dino})"
else
p "No user. (Let's assume she likes T-rexs)"
end
end
possible_user = User.find_by_favorite_dinosaur("Dromiceiomimus")
print_favorite_dinosaur(possible_user)

Here's the source of try from active_support
def try(*a, &b)
if a.empty? && block_given?
yield self
else
public_send(*a, &b) if respond_to?(a.first)
end
end
Should be easy to do the same in swift. Let me take a stab at it.
