| Challenge: | Existing work on pre-training models have shown that it is important to use a framework to deploy various pre- training models efficiently. |
| Approach: | They propose an assemble-on-demand pre-training toolkit that assembles pre-trained models on demand and encapsulates them with rich modules. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can reproduce state-of-the-art models or develop models that remain unexplored. |
FastBERT: a Self-distilling BERT with Adaptive Inference Time (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Pre-trained language models like BERT have proven to be highly performant, but are often computationally expensive in many practical scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose a speed-tunable FastBERT with adaptive inference time that can be flexibly adjusted under varying demands. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves promising results in English and Chinese datasets. |
