Abstract: In their session, Jonas and Thomas talk about the first DATEV domain specific language model. Their talk cover a short introduction to NLP, the success of deep-learning in the field of NLP, the difference between word embeddings and contextualized embeddings, the importance of transfer learning, the benefits of domain specific knowledge and potential use cases of their language model. Moreover, they explain how they evaluate their proof of concept is successful. Towards the end of their talk they dive-deep into the BERT model.
