oBERT-12-downstream-pruned-unstructured-90-squadv1

This model is obtained with The Optimal BERT Surgeon: Scalable and Accurate Second-Order Pruning for Large Language Models.

It corresponds to the model presented in the Table 1 - 30 Epochs - oBERT - SQuADv1 90%.

Pruning method: oBERT downstream unstructured
Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07259
Dataset: SQuADv1
Sparsity: 90%
Number of layers: 12

The dev-set performance reported in the paper is averaged over three seeds, and we release the best model (marked with (*)):

| oBERT 90%    | F1    | EM    |
| ------------ | ----- | ----- |
| seed=42      | 88.22 | 81.10 |
| seed=3407 (*)| 88.46 | 81.26 |
| seed=54321   | 88.26 | 81.00 |
| ------------ | ----- | ----- |
| mean         | 88.31 | 81.12 |
| stdev        | 0.128 | 0.131 |
