# DistilBERT with a second step of distillation |
|
|
|
## Model description |
|
|
|
This model replicates the "DistilBERT (D)" model from Table 2 of the [DistilBERT paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.01108.pdf). In this approach, a DistilBERT student is fine-tuned on SQuAD v1.1, but with a BERT model (also fine-tuned on SQuAD v1.1) acting as a teacher for a second step of task-specific distillation. |
|
|
|
In this version, the following pre-trained models were used: |
|
|
|
* Student: `distilbert-base-uncased` |
|
* Teacher: `lewtun/bert-base-uncased-finetuned-squad-v1` |
|
|
|
## Training data |
|
|
|
This model was trained on the SQuAD v1.1 dataset which can be obtained from the `datasets` library as follows: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
squad = load_dataset('squad') |
|
``` |
|
|
|

|
| DistilBERT paper | 79.1 | 86.9 | |
|
| Ours | 78.4 | 86.5 | |
|
|
|
The scores were calculated using the `squad` metric from `datasets`. |
