TinyBERT Description
TinyBERT is 7.5x smalller and 9.4x faster on inference than BERT-base (the base version of BERT model) and achieves competitive performances in the tasks of natural language understanding. It performs a novel transformer distillation at both the pre-training and task-specific learning stages.
Paper: Xiaoqi Jiao, Yichun Yin, Lifeng Shang, Xin Jiang, Xiao Chen, Linlin Li, Fang Wang, Qun Liu. TinyBERT: Distilling BERT for Natural Language Understanding. arXiv preprint arXiv:1909.10351.
Model Architecture
The backbone structure of TinyBERT is transformer, the transformer contains four encoder modules, one encoder contains one selfattention module and one selfattention module contains one attention module.
Dataset
- Download the zhwiki or enwiki dataset for general distillation. Extract and clean text in the dataset with WikiExtractor. Convert the dataset to TFRecord format, please refer to create_pretraining_data.py which in BERT repository.
- Download glue dataset for task distillation. Convert dataset files from json format to tfrecord format, please refer to run_classifier.py which in BERT repository.
Environment Requirements
- Hardware（Ascend/GPU）
- Prepare hardware environment with Ascend or GPU processor. If you want to try Ascend, please send the application form to ascend@huawei.com. Once approved, you can get the resources.
- Framework
- For more information, please check the resources below：
Quick Start
After installing MindSpore via the official website, you can start general distill, task distill and evaluation as follows:
# run standalone general distill example
bash scripts/run_standalone_gd.sh
Before running the shell script, please set the `load_teacher_ckpt_path`, `data_dir`, `schema_dir` and `dataset_type` in the run_standalone_gd.sh file first. If running on GPU, please set the `device_target=GPU`.
# For Ascend device, run distributed general distill example
bash scripts/run_distributed_gd_ascend.sh 8 1 /path/hccl.json
Before running the shell script, please set the `load_teacher_ckpt_path`, `data_dir`, `schema_dir` and `dataset_type` in the run_distributed_gd_ascend.sh file first.
# For GPU device, run distributed general distill example
bash scripts/run_distributed_gd_gpu.sh 8 1 /path/data/ /path/schema.json /path/teacher.ckpt
# run task distill and evaluation example
bash scripts/run_standalone_td.sh
Before running the shell script, please set the `task_name`, `load_teacher_ckpt_path`, `load_gd_ckpt_path`, `train_data_dir`, `eval_data_dir`, `schema_dir` and `dataset_type` in the run_standalone_td.sh file first.
If running on GPU, please set the `device_target=GPU`.
For distributed training on Ascend, a hccl configuration file with JSON format needs to be created in advance.
Please follow the instructions in the link below:
https:gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/utils/hccl_tools.
For dataset, if you want to set the format and parameters, a schema configuration file with JSON format needs to be created, please refer to tfrecord format.
For general task, schema file contains ["input_ids", "input_mask", "segment_ids"].
For task distill and eval phase, schema file contains ["input_ids", "input_mask", "segment_ids", "label_ids"].
`numRows` is the only option which could be set by user, the others value must be set according to the dataset.
For example, the dataset is cn-wiki-128, the schema file for general distill phase as following:
{
"datasetType": "TF",
"numRows": 7680,
"columns": {
"input_ids": {
"type": "int64",
"rank": 1,
"shape": [256]
},
"input_mask": {
"type": "int64",
"rank": 1,
"shape": [256]
},
"segment_ids": {
"type": "int64",
"rank": 1,
"shape": [256]
}
}
}

Description of Random Situation
In run_standaloned_td.sh, we set do_shuffle to shuffle the dataset.
In gd_config.py and td_config.py, we set the hidden_dropout_prob and attention_pros_dropout_prob to dropout some network node.
In run_general_distill.py, we set the random seed to make sure distribute training has the same init weight.
