Google and Stanford University released a new pre-trained model called ELECTRA
Google and Stanford University released a new pre-trained model called ELECTRA, which has a much compact model size and relatively competitive performance compared to BERT and its variants. For further accelerating the research of the Chinese pre-trained model, the Joint Laboratory of HIT and iFLYTEK Research (HFL) has released the Chinese ELECTRA models based on the official code of ELECTRA. ELECTRA-small could reach similar or even higher scores on several NLP tasks with only 1/10 parameters compared to BERT and its variants.
