DeBERTa: Decoding-enhanced BERT with Disentangled Attention
DeBERTa improves the BERT and RoBERTa models using disentangled attention and enhanced mask decoder. With those two improvements, DeBERTa out perform RoBERTa on a majority of NLU tasks with 80GB training data.
Please check the official repository for more details and updates.
In DeBERTa V3 we replaced MLM objective with RTD(Replaced Token Detection) objective during pre-training, which significantly improves the model performance. Please check appendix A11 in our paper DeBERTa for more details.
This is the DeBERTa V3 small model with 6 layers, 768 hidden size. Total parameters is 143M while Embedding layer take about 98M due to the usage of 128k vocabulary. It's trained with 160GB data.
Fine-tuning on NLU tasks
We present the dev results on SQuAD 1.1/2.0 and MNLI tasks.
| Model | SQuAD 1.1 | SQuAD 2.0 | MNLI-m |
|---|---|---|---|
| RoBERTa-base | 91.5/84.6 | 83.7/80.5 | 87.6 |
| XLNet-base | -/- | -/80.2 | 86.8 |
| DeBERTa-base | 93.1/87.2 | 86.2/83.1 | 88.8 |
| DeBERTa-v3-small | -/- | -/- | 88.2 |
| DeBERTa-v3-small+SiFT | -/- | -/- | 88.8 |
