bert-base-squadv1-qat-bt

This model is a quantized-aware transfer learning of bert-base-uncased on Squadv1 using OpenVINO/NNCF. Applied optimization includes:

1. NNCF Quantize-Aware Training - Symmetric 8-bit for both weight and activation on all learnable layers.
2. Custom distillation with fine-tuned model csarron/bert-base-uncased-squad-v1
