Summary

• What is new: A method for knowledge distillation of Large Language Models into smaller networks with higher scoring accuracy and efficiency on resource-constrained devices.
• Why this is important: Deploying large language models on devices with limited resources.
• What the research proposes: Using a specialized loss function to train a smaller model with the prediction probabilities of a large language model.
• Results: Achieved 1% higher accuracy than ANNs and 4% higher than TinyBERT, with a model size 10,000 times smaller and 10 times faster than TinyBERT.
