I am fine tuning XLNet for multi-label text classification on a TPU v3. When the labels are under 100, the training went well and took about 10s per iterator(batch size 16). But if the labels are about 9000, the training stuck after the first batch forward at loss.backward. I tried to keep it running for about 4 hours until memory leaking. The model has about 131032033 parameters. The following is the metric reports.
