No Train No Gain

Code for the paper "No Train No Gain: Revisiting Efficient Training Algorithms For Transformer-based Language Models"; Jean Kaddour, Oscar Key, Piotr Nawrot, Pasquale Minervini, Matt J. Kusner .

Running the code

See the README for the:

• BERT experiments
• T5 experiments

Citation and license

We use two excellent open source codebases to implement our experiments:

• The BERT experiments are forked of Cramming
• The T5 experiments are forked of NanoT5

If you find this repository useful, please consider citing both our work and these original codebases.
