Conversational DistilRuBERT-tiny-5k \(Russian, cased, 3‑layers, 264‑hidden, 12‑heads, 3.6M parameters, 5k vocab\) was trained on OpenSubtitles\[1\], Dirty, Pikabu, and a Social Media segment of Taiga corpus\[2\] (as Conversational RuBERT).
Our DistilRuBERT-tiny-5k is highly inspired by \[3\], \[4\] and architecture is very close to \[5\]. Namely, we use
- MLM loss (between token labels and student output distribution)
- KL loss (between averaged student and teacher hidden states)
The key feature is:
- reduced vocabulary size (5K vs 30K in tiny vs. 100K in base and small)
Here is comparison between teacher model (Conversational RuBERT) and other distilled models.
DistilRuBERT-tiny was trained for about 100 hrs. on 7 nVIDIA Tesla P100-SXM2.0 16Gb.
We used PyTorchBenchmark from transformers to evaluate model's performance and compare it with other pre-trained language models for Russian. All tests were performed on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz
To evaluate model quality, we fine-tuned DistilRuBERT-tiny-5k on classification (RuSentiment, ParaPhraser), NER and question answering data sets for Russian. The results could be found in the paper Table 4 as well as performance benchmarks and training details.
