Language is one of the marvels of human condition and, arguably, the area in which deep learning has made most progress in the last few years. Natural language understanding(NLU) models like OpenAI’s GPT-3 or Google’s Switch Transformer have certainly pushed the boundaries of what we considered achievable in deep learning. However, despite the progress, those models are nowhere near to understand language the way humans do. Recently, Meta AI Research, launched an partnership with several neuroscience…
