# Model Card for dynamic_tinybert   
 
# Model Details
 
## Model Description
 
Dynamic-TinyBERT: Boost TinyBERT’s Inference Efficiency by Dynamic Sequence Length

 
- **Developed by:** Intel
- **Shared by [Optional]:** Intel
- **Model type:** Question Answering
- **Language(s) (NLP):** More information needed
- **License:** More information needed
- **Parent Model:** BERT
- **Resources for more information:** 
   - [Associated Paper](https://neurips2021-nlp.github.io/papers/16/CameraReady/Dynamic_TinyBERT_NLSP2021_camera_ready.pdf)
 	  



# Uses
 

## Direct Use
This model can be used for the task of question answering. 
 
## Downstream Use [Optional]
 
More information needed.
 
## Out-of-Scope Use
 
The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people. 
 
# Bias, Risks, and Limitations
 
 
Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., [Sheng et al. (2021)](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.330.pdf) and [Bender et al. (2021)](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922)). Predictions generated by the model may include disturbing and harmful stereotypes across protected classes; identity characteristics; and sensitive, social, and occupational groups.



## Recommendations
 
 
Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. More information needed for further recommendations.

# Training Details
 
## Training Data
 
The model authors note in the [associated paper](https://neurips2021-nlp.github.io/papers/16/CameraReady/Dynamic_TinyBERT_NLSP2021_camera_ready.pdf):
> All our experiments are evaluated on the challenging question-answering benchmark SQuAD1.1 [11].
 
 
## Training Procedure

 
### Preprocessing

The model authors note in the [associated paper](https://neurips2021-nlp.github.io/papers/16/CameraReady/Dynamic_TinyBERT_NLSP2021_camera_ready.pdf):
> We start with a pre-trained general-TinyBERT student, which was trained to learn the general knowledge of BERT using the general-distillation method presented by TinyBERT. We perform transformer distillation from a fine- tuned BERT teacher to the student, following the same training steps used in the original TinyBERT: (1) **intermediate-layer distillation (ID)** — learning the knowledge residing in the hidden states and attentions matrices, and (2) **prediction-layer distillation (PD)** — fitting the predictions of the teacher. 
 


 
### Speeds, Sizes, Times
 
The model authors note in the [associated paper](https://neurips2021-nlp.github.io/papers/16/CameraReady/Dynamic_TinyBERT_NLSP2021_camera_ready.pdf):
>For our Dynamic-TinyBERT model we use the architecture of TinyBERT6L: a small BERT model with 6 layers, a hidden size of 768, a feed forward size of 3072 and 12 heads.
