  • This empirical study analyzes the effects of the pre-training corpus on the quality of learned transformer representations. We focus on the representation quality induced solely through pre-training. Our experiments show that pre-training on a small, specialized corpus can yield effective representations, and that the success of combining a generic and a specialized corpus depends on the distributional similarity between the target task and the specialized corpus.
