It has recently been observed that neural language models trained on unstructured text can implicitly store and retrieve knowledge using natural language queries.

We show that this approach scales surprisingly well with model size and outperforms models that explicitly look up knowledge on the open-domain variants of Natural Questions and WebQuestions.
