What is chinese-electra-small-discriminator?
The chinese-electra-small-discriminator is a compact yet powerful pre-trained model specifically designed for Chinese natural language processing tasks. Developed by the HFL team, it implements Google's ELECTRA architecture with significantly reduced parameters while maintaining competitive performance compared to larger models like BERT.
Implementation Details
This model represents the discriminator component of the ELECTRA architecture, which is trained to detect whether tokens in a sequence have been replaced by a generator network. The small variant achieves remarkable efficiency by using only about 10% of the parameters found in standard BERT models.
