NeurIPS 2020 Presentation on Neural Programming Interfaces: The video and slides for the presentation I gave for NeurIPS 2020 on work done with fellow lab member Nathaniel Robinson and mentors Nancy Fulda and David Wingate regarding Neural Programming Interfaces (NPIs). Neural Programming Interfaces enable one to exercise very granular control over a pretrained neural network (in our case, GPT-2) with no need for specialized data (other than, for example, desirable and undesirable words/phrases) in the original domain of the pretrained network.
