context: "The Eiffel Tower is a wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower."
- text: "Who is Frederic Chopin?"
context: "Frédéric François Chopin, born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin (1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849), was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era who wrote primarily for solo piano."

## bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking model fine-tuned on SQuAD v2
This model was created using the [nn_pruning](https://github.com/huggingface/nn_pruning) python library: the **linear layers contains 25.0%** of the original weights.
The model contains **32.0%** of the original weights **overall** (the embeddings account for a significant part of the model, and they are not pruned by this method).
With a simple resizing of the linear matrices it ran **2.15x as fast as bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking** on the evaluation.
This is possible because the pruning method lead to structured matrices: to visualize them, hover below on the plot to see the non-zero/zero parts of each matrix.

In terms of accuracy, its **F1 is 83.22**, compared with 85.85 for bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking, a **F1 drop of 2.63**.
## Fine-Pruning details
This model was fine-tuned from the HuggingFace [model](https://huggingface.co/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking) checkpoint on [SQuAD2.0](https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer), and distilled from the model [madlag/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-finetuned-squadv2](https://huggingface.co/madlag/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-finetuned-squadv2).
This model is case-insensitive: it does not make a difference between english and English.
A side-effect of the block pruning is that some of the attention heads are completely removed: 155 heads were removed on a total of 384 (40.4%).
Here is a detailed view on how the remaining heads are distributed in the network after pruning.

## Example Usage
Install nn_pruning: it contains the optimization script, which just pack the linear layers into smaller ones by removing empty rows/columns.
`pip install nn_pruning`
Then you can use the `transformers library` almost as usual: you just have to call `optimize_model` when the pipeline has loaded.
```python
from transformers import pipeline
from nn_pruning.inference_model_patcher import optimize_model
qa_pipeline = pipeline(
"question-answering",
model="madlag/bert-large-uncased-wwm-squadv2-x2.15-f83.2-d25-hybrid-v1",
tokenizer="madlag/bert-large-uncased-wwm-squadv2-x2.15-f83.2-d25-hybrid-v1"
)
print("bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking parameters: 497.0M")
print(f"Parameters count (includes only head pruning, not feed forward pruning)={int(qa_pipeline.model.num_parameters() / 1E6)}M")
qa_pipeline.model = optimize_model(qa_pipeline.model, "dense")
print(f"Parameters count after complete optimization={int(qa_pipeline.model.num_parameters() / 1E6)}M")
predictions = qa_pipeline({
'context': "Frédéric François Chopin, born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin (1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849), was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era who wrote primarily for solo piano.",
'question': "Who is Frederic Chopin?",
})
print("Predictions", predictions)
