# XtremeDistil-Transformers for Distilling Massive Neural Networks
XtremeDistil is a distilled task-agnostic transformer model leveraging multi-task distillation techniques from the paper "[XtremeDistil: Multi-stage Distillation for Massive Multilingual Models](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.acl-main.202.pdf)" and "[MiniLM: Deep Self-Attention Distillation for Task-Agnostic Compression of Pre-Trained Transformers](https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.10957)" with the following "[Github code](https://github.com/microsoft/xtreme-distil-transformers)".
This l6-h384 checkpoint with **6** layers, **384** hidden size, **12** attention heads corresponds to **22 million** parameters with **5.3x** speedup over BERT-base.
The following table shows the results on GLUE dev set and SQuAD-v2.
| Models | #Params | Speedup | MNLI | QNLI | QQP | RTE | SST | MRPC | SQUAD2 | Avg |
|----------------|--------|---------|------|------|------|------|------|------|--------|-------|
| BERT | 109 | 1x | 84.5 | 91.7 | 91.3 | 68.6 | 93.2 | 87.3 | 76.8 | 84.8 |
| DistilBERT | 66 | 2x | 82.2 | 89.2 | 88.5 | 59.9 | 91.3 | 87.5 | 70.7 | 81.3 |
| TinyBERT | 66 | 2x | 83.5 | 90.5 | 90.6 | 72.2 | 91.6 | 88.4 | 73.1 | 84.3 |
| MiniLM | 66 | 2x | 84.0 | 91.0 | 91.0 | 71.5 | 92.0 | 88.4 | 76.4 | 84.9 |
| MiniLM | 22 | 5.3x | 82.8 | 90.3 | 90.6 | 68.9 | 91.3 | 86.6 | 72.9 | 83.3 |
| XtremeDistil | 22 | 5.3x | 85.4 | 90.3 | 91.0 | 80.9 | 92.3 | 90.0 | 76.6 | 86.6 |
Tested with `tensorflow 2.3.1, transformers 4.1.1, torch 1.6.0`
