| | # Model Description |
| | TinyBioBERT is a distilled version of the [BioBERT](https://huggingface.co/dmis-lab/biobert-base-cased-v1.2?text=The+goal+of+life+is+%5BMASK%5D.) which is distilled for 100k training steps using a total batch size of 192 on the PubMed dataset. |
| |
|
| | # Distillation Procedure |
| | This model uses a unique distillation method called ‘transformer-layer distillation’ which is applied on each layer of the student to align the attention maps and the hidden states of the student with those of the teacher. |
| |
|
| | # Architecture and Initialisation |
| | This model uses 4 hidden layers with a hidden dimension size and an embedding size of 768 resulting in a total of 15M parameters. Due to the model's small hidden dimension size, it uses random initialisation. |
