Developing compressed language models through knowledge distillation for efficient question answering in Spanish.
摘要
Recent advancements in NLP have led to progress in various tasks by fine-tuning pre-trained language models. However, limited training data for languages like Spanish hinders progress. The lack of efficient models for resource-constrained environments is a challenge. The study introduces SpanishTinyRoBERTa, a compressed model based on RoBERTa, using knowledge distillation to maintain performance while improving efficiency. Experimental results show that the distilled model preserves performance while significantly increasing inference speed. This work aims to facilitate the development of efficient language models for Spanish across NLP tasks.
統計資料
Spanish RoBERTa-large achieved 87.50% F1 and 78.30% EM.
Multilingual BERT had an inference speedup of 3.0x.
SpanishTinyRoBERTa achieved 80.52% F1 and 71.23% EM with a 4.2x inference speedup.
引述
"Our experiments show that the dense distilled model can still preserve the performance of its larger counterpart."
"The ultimate goal of our work is to facilitate efforts in the development of efficient language models for the Spanish language."
"These findings provide evidence that the SpanishTinyRoBERTa can achieve competitive results on the QA task while requiring much less computational resources."
