What is mdeberta-v3-base?
mdeberta-v3-base is a multilingual enhancement of the DeBERTa architecture, incorporating ELECTRA-style pre-training with gradient-disentangled embedding sharing. The model features 12 layers with a hidden size of 768 and was trained on 2.5T CC100 multilingual data.
Implementation Details
This model builds upon the success of DeBERTa by implementing disentangled attention and enhanced mask decoder mechanisms. It employs a 250K token vocabulary and demonstrates superior performance in cross-lingual transfer tasks.
