DeBERTa: Decoding-enhanced BERT with Disentangled Attention

DeBERTa improves the BERT and RoBERTa models using disentangled attention and enhanced mask decoder. It outperforms BERT and RoBERTa on majority of NLU tasks with 80GB training data.

Please check the official repository for more details and updates.

This the DeBERTa V2 XXLarge model fine-tuned with MNLI task, 48 layers, 1536 hidden size. Total parameters 1.5B.

Fine-tuning on NLU tasks

We present the dev results on SQuAD 1.1/2.0 and several GLUE benchmark tasks.

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
