模型详情:85%稀疏的BERT-Base(uncased)剪枝一劳永逸

该模型是一个稀疏的预训练模型,可以在各种语言任务中进行微调。权重剪枝的过程是将神经网络的一些权重强制设为零。将部分权重设为零会导致稀疏的矩阵。在更新神经网络权重时,需要进行矩阵乘法运算,如果我们能够在保留足够重要信息的同时保持矩阵的稀疏性,就可以减少整体的计算开销。标题中的“稀疏”一词表示权重的稀疏比例;有关更多详细信息,请阅读 Zafrir et al. (2021)

Model Detail Description
Model Authors - Company Intel
Date September 30, 2021
Version 1
Type NLP - General sparse language model
Architecture "The method consists of two steps, teacher preparation and student pruning. The sparse pre-trained model we trained is the model we use for transfer learning while maintaining its sparsity pattern. We call the method Prune Once for All since we show how to fine-tune the sparse pre-trained models for several language tasks while we prune the pre-trained model only once." 1235321

Intended Use Description
Primary intended uses This is a general sparse language model; in its current form, it is not ready for downstream prediction tasks, but it can be fine-tuned for several language tasks including (but not limited to) question-answering, genre natural language inference, and sentiment classification.
Primary intended users Anyone who needs an efficient general language model for other downstream tasks.
Out-of-scope uses The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.

如何使用

以下是在Python中导入此模型的示例:

import transformers

model = transformers.AutoModelForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained('Intel/bert-base-uncased-sparse-85-unstructured-pruneofa')

Training and Evaluation Data Description
Datasets 12317321 (2500M words).
Motivation To build an efficient and accurate base model for several downstream language tasks.
Preprocessing "We use the English Wikipedia dataset (2500M words) for training the models on the pre-training task. We split the data into train (95%) and validation (5%) sets. Both sets are preprocessed as described in the models’ original papers ( 12318321 , 12319321 ). We process the data to use the maximum sequence length allowed by the models, however, we allow shorter sequences at a probability of 0:1."
Ethical Considerations Description
Data The training data come from Wikipedia articles
Human life The model is not intended to inform decisions central to human life or flourishing. It is an aggregated set of labelled Wikipedia articles.
Mitigations No additional risk mitigation strategies were considered during model development.
Risks and harms Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., 12320321 , and 12321321 ). Predictions generated by the model may include disturbing and harmful stereotypes across protected classes; identity characteristics; and sensitive, social, and occupational groups. Beyond this, the extent of the risks involved by using the model remain unknown.

Caveats and Recommendations
Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. There are no additional caveats or recommendations for this model.
