 Chinese ELECTRA Google and Stanford University released a new pre-trained model called ELECTRA, which has a much compact model size and relatively competitive performance compared to BERT and its variants. For further accelerating the research of the Chinese pre-trained model, the Joint Laboratory of HIT and iFLYTEK Research (HFL) has released the Chinese ELECTRA models based on the official code of ELECTRA. ELECTRA-small could reach similar or even higher scores on several NLP tasks with only 1/10 parameters compared to BERT and its variants.  This project is based on the official code of ELECTRA: [https://github.com/google-research/electra](https://github.com/google-research/electra)  You may also interested in, - Chinese BERT series: https://github.com/ymcui/Chinese-BERT-wwm - Chinese ELECTRA: https://github.com/ymcui/Chinese-ELECTRA - Chinese XLNet: https://github.com/ymcui/Chinese-XLNet - Knowledge Distillation Toolkit - TextBrewer: https://github.com/airaria/TextBrewer  More resources by HFL: https://github.com/ymcui/HFL-Anthology
