Electra-Base TensorFlow2 checkpoint finetuned on Squad1.1 using seqLen=384
Model Overview
ELECTRA is method of pre-training language representations which outperforms existing techniques on a wide array of NLP tasks.
Model Architecture
ELECTRA is a combination of two Transformer models: a generator and a discriminator. The generator's role is to replace tokens in a sequence, and is therefore trained as a masked language model. The discriminator, which is the model we are interested in, tries to identify which tokens were replaced by the generator in the sequence. Both generator and discriminator use the same architecture as the encoder of the Transformer. The encoder is simply a stack of Transformer blocks, which consist of a multi-head attention layer followed by successive stages of feed-forward networks and layer normalization. The multi-head attention layer performs self-attention on multiple input representations.
Training
This model was trained using script available on NGC and in GitHub repo.
Dataset
The following datasets were used to train this model:
- SQuAD 1.1 + 2.0 - Reading comprehension dataset, consisting of questions posed by crowdworkers on a set of Wikipedia articles, where the answer to every question is a segment of text, or span, from the corresponding reading passage, or the question might be unanswerable.
Performance
Performance numbers for this model are available in NGC.
