DeBERTa

DeBERTa is a powerful language model that improves upon BERT and RoBERTa by better understanding the relationships between words and their positions in a sentence.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

DeBERTa (Decoding-enhanced BERT with disentangled attention) is a Microsoft-developed language model that enhances BERT and RoBERTa by using disentangled attention mechanisms to encode content and position embeddings separately, and an enhanced mask decoder, achieving state-of-the-art performance on various NLP tasks.

BACKGROUND

Bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) is a language model introduced in October 2018 by researchers at Google. It learns to represent text as a sequence of vectors using self-supervised learning. It uses the encoder-only transformer architecture. BERT dramatically improved the state of the art for large language models. As of 2020, BERT is a ubiquitous baseline in natural language processing (NLP) experiments.
