Chinese Pre-trained Unbalanced Transformer
Introduced by Yunfan Shao et al. in CPT: A Pre-Trained Unbalanced Transformer for Both Chinese Language Understanding and Generation
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
CPT, or Chinese Pre-trained Unbalanced Transformer, is a pre-trained unbalanced Transformer for Chinese natural language understanding (NLU) and natural language generation (NLG) tasks. CPT consists of three parts: a shared encoder, an understanding decoder, and a generation decoder. Two specific decoders with a shared encoder are pre-trained with masked language modeling (MLM) and denoising auto-encoding (DAE) tasks, respectively. With the partially shared architecture and multi-task pre-training, CPT can (1) learn specific knowledge of both NLU or NLG tasks with two decoders and (2) be fine-tuned flexibly that fully exploits the potential of the model.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
