## BERT-base uncased model fine-tuned on SQuAD v1
This model is block sparse: the **linear** layers contains **31.7%** of the original weights.
The model contains **47.0%** of the original weights **overall**.
The training use a modified version of Victor Sanh [Movement Pruning](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.07683) method.
That means that with the [block-sparse](https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch_block_sparse) runtime it ran **1.12x** faster than an dense networks on the evaluation, at the price of some impact on the accuracy (see below).
This model was fine-tuned from the HuggingFace [BERT](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/N19-1423/) base uncased checkpoint on [SQuAD1.1](https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer), and distilled from the equivalent model [csarron/bert-base-uncased-squad-v1](https://huggingface.co/csarron/bert-base-uncased-squad-v1).
This model is case-insensitive: it does not make a difference between english and English.
## Pruning details
A side-effect of the block pruning is that some of the attention heads are completely removed: 80 heads were removed on a total of 144 (55.6%).
Here is a detailed view on how the remaining heads are distributed in the network after pruning.
