About this paper

Zijun Wu, Yongkang Wu, Lili Mou

The authors introduce PTfer, which transfers soft prompts by representing each learned prompt vector through its cosine similarities to shared vocabulary anchors, then searching target-model vectors with matching relationships. On LAMA-TREx, a factual benchmark testing object prediction from subject–relation–object facts, BERT-base to BERT-large transfer reaches 31.40% accuracy, above a neural-projector baseline but below manual prompting and direct target tuning.
