Run command below to install the environment
pip install -r requirements.txtBefore training the student, you need to first prepare four task-specific teachers. You can use the run_glue.sh to run run_glue.py（coppied from transformers package） to get the teacher.
Or you can put you model at ./teacher folder. In this case, make sure it can be load by:
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("./teacher/{task}")
Here {task} is in {"qnli","sst2","mnli","qqp"}.
To train a student with kd methods, please use commands like below:
python run_kd.py --strategy {strategy} --task {task} --alpha {alpha} --T {T} --beta {beta} --gamma {gamma} --seed {seed}
| method | strategy | necessary hyper-parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Vanilla KD | "kd" | alpha, T |
| BERT-PKD | "pkd" | alpha, T, beta |
| GKD | "gkd" | alpha, T, beta |
| GKD-CLS | "gkd-cls" | alpha, T, beta, gamma |
| GKD-CLS (with dropout) | "gkd-cls-dropout" | alpha, T, beta, gamma |
