报告摘要：Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs), such as BERT and ERNIE, lead to remarkable headway in many Natural Language Processing tasks. In the information retrieval (IR) community, PLMs have also attracted much attention, and various PLMs and training strategies have been developed for different IR applications. Despite the initial success achieved by existing studies, there are still many challenges to be addressed, especially when applying and deploying PLMs in real-world IR scenarios. In this speech, I will introduce a series of efforts on Pre-trained Language Models in Baidu search engine which significantly improves the overall usability of our search engine.
