MobileBERT (A Compact Task-agnostic BERT for Resource-Limited Devices)

Implementation of the MobileBERT language model (MobileBERT: A Compact Task-agnostic BERT for Resource-Limited Devices Sun, Yu, Song, Liu, Yang, Zhou, 2020). The base model is implemented in the mobilebert_model::MobileBertModel struct. Several language model heads have also been implemented, including:

  • Multiple choices: mobilebert_model:MobileBertForMultipleChoice
  • Question answering: mobilebert_model::MobileBertForQuestionAnswering
  • Sequence classification: mobilebert_model::MobileBertForSequenceClassification
  • Token classification (e.g. NER, POS tagging): mobilebert_model::MobileBertForTokenClassification.

Model set-up and pre-trained weights loading

All models expect the following resources:

  • Configuration file expected to have a structure following the Transformers library
  • Model weights are expected to have a structure and parameter names following the Transformers library. A conversion using the Python utility scripts is required to convert the .bin weights to the .ot format.
  • BertTokenizer using a vocab.txt vocabulary Pretrained models for a number of language pairs are available and can be downloaded using RemoteResources.
