What is bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking?
This is a specialized configuration package designed to optimize the BERT Large model for Habana's Gaudi processors (HPU). It's important to note that this package contains only the GaudiConfig file, not the actual model weights, focusing on enabling efficient hardware-specific optimizations.
Implementation Details
The configuration provides specific optimizations for HPU deployment, including fused operations and mixed precision training capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with the Hugging Face Transformers library while adding HPU-specific training arguments.
- Supports fused AdamW implementation for optimized training
- Enables fused gradient norm clipping
- Includes Torch Autocast support for mixed precision
- Optimized for bf16 mixed-precision training
Core Capabilities
- Seamless integration with Transformers library
- HPU-specific optimization configurations
- Support for single and multi-HPU settings
- Optimized performance for question-answering tasks
