QuaLA-MiniLM: a Quantized Length Adaptive

MiniLM

The article discusses the challenge of making transformer-based models efficient enough for practical use,
|
9 |
+
given their size and computational requirements. The authors propose a new approach called QuaLA-MiniLM,
|
10 |
+
which combines knowledge distillation, the length-adaptive transformer (LAT) technique,
|
11 |
+
and low-bit quantization. This approach trains a single model that can adapt to any
|
12 |
+
inference scenario with a given computational budget, achieving a superior accuracy-efficiency
|
13 |
+
trade-off on the SQuAD1.1 dataset. The authors compare this approach to other efficient methods
|
14 |
+
and find that it achieves up to an x8.8 speedup with less than 1% accuracy loss.
|

+
The authors also provide their code publicly on GitHub. The article also discusses other related work
|
16 |
+
in the field, including dynamic transformers and other knowledge distillation approaches.
