TorchScale: Transformers at Scale
Shuming Ma, Hongyu Wang, Shaohan Huang +8
Large Transformers have achieved state-of-the-art performance across many tasks. Most open-source libraries on scaling Transformers focus on improving training or inference with be…
Foundation Transformers
Hongyu Wang, Shuming Ma, Shaohan Huang +12
A big convergence of model architectures across language, vision, speech, and multimodal is emerging. However, under the same name "Transformers", the above areas use different imp…
Image as a Foreign Language: BEiT Pretraining for All Vision and Vision-Language Tasks
Wenhui Wang, Hangbo Bao, Li Dong +8
A big convergence of language, vision, and multimodal pretraining is emerging. In this work, we introduce a general-purpose multimodal foundation model BEiT-3, which achieves state…
Language Models are General-Purpose Interfaces
Yaru Hao, Haoyu Song, Li Dong +5
Foundation models have received much attention due to their effectiveness across a broad range of downstream applications. Though there is a big convergence in terms of architectur…
VL-BEiT: Generative Vision-Language Pretraining
Hangbo Bao, Wenhui Wang, Li Dong +1
We introduce a vision-language foundation model called VL-BEiT, which is a bidirectional multimodal Transformer learned by generative pretraining. Our minimalist solution conducts…
AutoDistil: Few-shot Task-agnostic Neural Architecture Search for Distilling Large Language Models
Dongkuan Xu, Subhabrata Mukherjee, Xiaodong Liu +5
Knowledge distillation (KD) methods compress large models into smaller students with manually-designed student architectures given pre-specified computational cost. This requires s…
