In this blog, we will discuss one of the ways to make huge models like BERT smaller and faster with OpenVINO™ Neural Networks Compression Framework (NNCF) and ONNX Runtime with OpenVINO™ Execution Provider through Azure Machine Learning.
Hugging Face’s Optimum library, through its integration with ONNX Runtime for training, provides an open solution to improve training times by 35% or more for many popular Hugging Face models. We present details of both Hugging Face Optimum and the ONNX Runtime Training ecosystem, with performance numbers highlighting the benefits of using the Optimum library.
Choosing which machine learning model to use, sharing a model with a colleague, and quickly trying out a model are all reasons why you may find yourself wanting to quickly run inference on a model. You can configure your environment and download Jupyter notebooks, but it would be nicer if there was a way to run a model with even less effort...
Transformer-based models have revolutionized the natural language processing (NLP) domain. Ever since its inception, transformer architecture has been integrated into models like Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) for performing tasks such as text generation or summarization and question and answering to name a few...
