DQ-BART: Efficient Sequence-to-Sequence Model via Joint Distillation and Quantization

This repository contains the authors' implementation of the ACL 2022 paper "DQ-BART: Efficient Sequence-to-Sequence Model via Joint Distillation and Quantization."

Requirements

• Install PyTorch from the official website.
• Install dependencies via pip install -r requirements.txt.
• The teacher model should be available locally, e.g., downloading manually from the huggingface model hub.

Sample Command

• The following command will train an 8-8-8 3-1 model on CNN/DailyMail dataset. You may use accelerate for distributed training.

  python3 run_summarization_no_trainer.py \
    --model_name_or_path ainize/bart-base-cnn \
    --dataset_name cnn_dailymail \
    --dataset_config_name 3.0.0 \
    --pred_distill \
    --intermediate_distill \
    --num_train_epochs 20 \
    --weight_bits 8 \
    --do_train \
    --do_test \
    --distill_encoder 3 \
    --distill_decoder 1 \
    --learning_rate 3e-5
