Purpose
This model is part of the Domain-Aware Speculative Decoding research project. The hypothesis is that domain-specific draft models achieve higher acceptance rates in speculative decoding compared to a single general-purpose drafter.
The model is trained via knowledge distillation: the target model's top-10 token distributions are used as soft labels, combined with standard cross-entropy on the greedy (trunk) sequence.
Usage
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("MikhailRudenko/drafter-wmt16-translate-deen")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MikhailRudenko/drafter-wmt16-translate-deen")
