| Challenge: | Large Transformer-based models are reduced to a smaller number of self-attention heads and layers. |
| Approach: | They propose to prune BERT self-attention heads and layers to find subnetworks with comparable performance . they also extend this technique to multi-layer perceptrons to find out if they are unstable . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models are able to achieve 90% of full model performance with structured pruning and similar-sized subnetworks sampled from the rest of the model perform worse. |
