oBERT-12-upstream-pruned-unstructured-97-v2

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

It corresponds to the upstream pruned model used as a starting point for sparse-transfer learning to downstream tasks presented in the Table 2 - oBERT - {SQuADv1, MNLI, QQP} - 97% (in the upcoming updated version of the paper).

Finetuned versions of this model for each downstream task are:

• SQuADv1: neuralmagic/oBERT-12-upstream-pruned-unstructured-97-finetuned-squadv1-v2
• MNLI: neuralmagic/oBERT-12-upstream-pruned-unstructured-97-finetuned-mnli-v2
• QQP: neuralmagic/oBERT-12-upstream-pruned-unstructured-97-finetuned-qqp-v2
