What is dynamic_tinybert?
Dynamic-TinyBERT is an innovative question-answering model developed by Intel that combines the efficiency of TinyBERT with dynamic sequence length adaptation. The model represents a significant advancement in making BERT-like architectures more computationally efficient while maintaining high accuracy. It achieves impressive performance with up to 3.3x speedup while keeping the accuracy drop under 1% compared to standard BERT models.
Implementation Details
The model utilizes a compact architecture based on TinyBERT6L, featuring 6 layers, a hidden size of 768, a feed-forward size of 3072, and 12 attention heads. It employs sequence-length reduction and hyperparameter optimization to enhance inference efficiency. The model is trained using a two-step distillation process: intermediate-layer distillation for learning hidden states and attention matrices, followed by prediction-layer distillation to match the teacher model's outputs.
