Block Pruning For Faster Transformers (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Pruning methods have proven to be effective at reducing model size, while distillation methods are proven for speeding up inference. |
| Approach: | They propose a block pruning approach that integrates structured pruning methods with the movement pruning paradigm for fine-tuning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is 2.4x faster, 74% smaller and faster than distilled models on classification and generation tasks. |
Fully Quantized Transformer for Machine Translation (2020.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | State-of-the-art neural machine translation methods use huge amounts of parameters. |
| Approach: | They propose an all-inclusive quantization strategy for the Transformer to reduce computational costs and improve translation quality. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves state-of-the-art results on most tasks compared to previous methods . |
KroneckerBERT: Significant Compression of Pre-trained Language Models Through Kronecker Decomposition and Knowledge Distillation (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a recent study shows that over-parameterized pre-trained language models are unsuitable for low-capacity devices. |
| Approach: | They propose a transformer-based pre-trained language model that is overparameterized . they use a two-stage knowledge distillation scheme to train the model . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models on well-known NLP benchmarks. |
