What is rbt4?
RBT4 is a compressed 4-layer variant of the Chinese RoBERTa model that implements Whole Word Masking (WWM) technology. Developed by the HFL team, it serves as a lightweight alternative to larger Chinese language models while maintaining strong performance on various NLP tasks.
Implementation Details
The model is built on the foundation of RoBERTa architecture with specific optimizations for Chinese language processing. It utilizes Whole Word Masking during pre-training, which masks entire Chinese words rather than individual characters, leading to better semantic understanding.
