  • RoBERTa: A Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach | Y. Li, M. Ott, N. Goyal, J. Du, M. Joshi, D. Chen, O. Levy, M. Lewis, L. Zettlemoyer, and V. Stoyanov
  • RoBERTa: A Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach | GitHub - iterates on BERT's pretraining procedure, including training the model longer, with bigger batches over more data; removing the next sentence prediction objective; training on longer sequences; and dynamically changing the masking pattern applied to the training data.

Liu researchers at Huawei produces a model called TinyBERT that is 7.5 times smaller and nearly 10 times faster than the original. It also reaches nearly the same language understanding performance as the original.
