TinyBERT
Explore how TinyBERT enhances knowledge distillation by transferring knowledge not only from the output layer but also from embedding and encoder layers of teacher BERT. Understand how this helps the student model learn deeper linguistic information, improving its ability to perform NLP tasks efficiently while maintaining accuracy.
We'll cover the following...
TinyBERT is another interesting variant of BERT that also uses knowledge distillation. With DistilBERT, we learned how to transfer knowledge from the output layer of the teacher BERT to the student BERT. But apart from this, can we also transfer knowledge from other layers of the teacher BERT? Yes!
In TinyBERT, apart from transferring knowledge from the output layer (prediction layer) of the teacher to the student, we also transfer knowledge from embedding and encoder layers. ...
