# bert-large-uncased-finetuned-squadv1

This model is a finetuned version of the [bert-large-uncased](https://huggingface.co/bert-large-uncased) model on the SQuADv1 task.

It is produced as part of the work on the paper [The Optimal BERT Surgeon: Scalable and Accurate Second-Order Pruning for Large Language Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07259).

SQuADv1 dev-set:
```
EM = 84.46
F1 = 91.23
```
