What is distilbart-mnli-12-1?
DistilBART-MNLI-12-1 is a distilled version of the BART-large-MNLI model, created using the No Teacher Distillation technique. It maintains 12 encoder layers but reduces to just 1 decoder layer, offering an efficient alternative while preserving strong performance. The model achieves 87.08% accuracy on matched and 87.5% on mismatched MNLI datasets, compared to the original model's 89.9% and 90.01% respectively.
Implementation Details
The model implements a novel distillation approach where alternating layers from bart-large-mnli are copied and fine-tuned on the same data. This technique provides a remarkable balance between model efficiency and performance, demonstrating only a minimal drop in accuracy despite significant architecture reduction.
