Large-Scale Pretrained Model Compression and Distillation: AdaBERT, L2A, and Meta‑KD
This article reviews three consecutive works from Alibaba DAMO Academy on compressing and distilling large pretrained language models—AdaBERT, L2A, and Meta‑KD—detailing their motivations, neural‑architecture‑search‑based designs, loss formulations, experimental results, and insights from a Q&A session.
