We demonstrate that when using large pretrained transformer models, mixture of experts methods can lead to significant gains in domain adaptation settings while domain adversarial training does not. We provide evidence that such models are relatively robust across domains, making homogenous predictions despite being fine-tuned on different domains.

We propose a novel method using universal adversarial triggers and GPT-2 to generate difficult adversarial claims for fact checking models which preserve label direction and are semantically coherent, showing that such generated claims easily fool fact checking models.
