NarrowBERT: Accelerating Masked Language Model Pretraining and Inference (2023.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large-scale language model pretraining is expensive as the models and pretraining corpora have become larger over time. |
| Approach: | They propose a modified transformer encoder that increases throughput for masked language model pretraining by more than 2x. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model increases throughput on IMDB and Amazon reviews classification and CoNLL NER tasks by 3.5x with minimal performance degradation. |
