That section you are saying was reasonably understandable was the part that confused me.

For example:

> it is obvious that XLNet always learns more dependency pairs given the same target and contains “denser” effective training signals

BERT is only masking 15% of the tokens, so isn't the amount of dependency pairs like 18% higher at most?



> BERT is only masking 15% of the tokens, so isn't the amount of dependency pairs like 18% higher at most?

That's a small but significant difference, allowing them to improve performance by a small but significant amount.
