Pretrained Transformers Improve Out-of-Distribution Robustness

How does pretraining affect out-of-distribution robustness? We create an OOD benchmark and use it to show that pretrained transformers such as BERT have substantially higher OOD accuracy and OOD detection rates compared to traditional NLP models.

This repository most of the code for the paper Pretrained Transformers Improve Out-of-Distribution Robustness, ACL 2020.

Requires Python 3+ and PyTorch 1.0+.
