“Recent advances in language pre-training have led to substantial gains in the field of natural language processing, with state-of-the-art models such as BERT, RoBERTa, XLNet, ALBERT, and T5, among many others. These methods, though they differ in design, share the same idea of leveraging a large amount of unlabeled text to build a general model of language understanding before being fine-tuned on specific NLP tasks such as sentiment analysis and question answering.” Link
