<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>

The DistilBERT model was proposed in the blog post [Smaller, faster, cheaper, lighter: Introducing DistilBERT, a
distilled version of BERT](https://medium.com/huggingface/distilbert-8cf3380435b5), and the paper [DistilBERT, a
distilled version of BERT: smaller, faster, cheaper and lighter](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.01108). DistilBERT is a
small, fast, cheap and light Transformer model trained by distilling BERT base. It has 40% less parameters than
*bert-base-uncased*, runs 60% faster while preserving over 95% of BERT's performances as measured on the GLUE language
understanding benchmark.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*As Transfer Learning from large-scale pre-trained models becomes more prevalent in Natural Language Processing (NLP),
operating these large models in on-the-edge and/or under constrained computational training or inference budgets
remains challenging. In this work, we propose a method to pre-train a smaller general-purpose language representation
model, called DistilBERT, which can then be fine-tuned with good performances on a wide range of tasks like its larger
counterparts. While most prior work investigated the use of distillation for building task-specific models, we leverage
knowledge distillation during the pretraining phase and show that it is possible to reduce the size of a BERT model by
40%, while retaining 97% of its language understanding capabilities and being 60% faster. To leverage the inductive
biases learned by larger models during pretraining, we introduce a triple loss combining language modeling,
distillation and cosine-distance losses. Our smaller, faster and lighter model is cheaper to pre-train and we
demonstrate its capabilities for on-device computations in a proof-of-concept experiment and a comparative on-device
study.*

Tips:

- DistilBERT doesn't have `token_type_ids`, you don't need to indicate which token belongs to which segment. Just
  separate your segments with the separation token `tokenizer.sep_token` (or `[SEP]`).
- DistilBERT doesn't have options to select the input positions (`position_ids` input). This could be added if
  necessary though, just let us know if you need this option.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [DistilBertModel](/docs/transformers/pr_15592/en/model_doc/distilbert#transformers.DistilBertModel) or a [TFDistilBertModel](/docs/transformers/pr_15592/en/model_doc/distilbert#transformers.TFDistilBertModel). It
is used to instantiate a DistilBERT model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture.
Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the DistilBERT
[distilbert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-uncased) architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from [PretrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/pr_15592/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PretrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from [PretrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/pr_15592/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PretrainedConfig) for more information.



Examples:

```python
>>> from transformers import DistilBertModel, DistilBertConfig

>>> # Initializing a DistilBERT configuration
>>> configuration = DistilBertConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model from the configuration
>>> model = DistilBertModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

DistilBert Model transformer with a sequence classification/regression head on top (a linear layer on top of the
pooled output) e.g. for GLUE tasks.


This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/pr_15592/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

Example of single-label classification:

>>> labels = torch.tensor([1]).unsqueeze(0)  # Batch size 1
>>> outputs = model(**inputs, labels=labels)
>>> loss = outputs.loss
>>> logits = outputs.logits
```

Example of multi-label classification:

```python

The bare DistilBERT encoder/transformer outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model inherits from [TFPreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/pr_15592/en/main_classes/model#transformers.TFPreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a [tf.keras.Model](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Model) subclass. Use it
as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and
behavior.

<Tip>

TF 2.0 models accepts two formats as inputs:

- having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
- having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional arguments.

This second option is useful when using `tf.keras.Model.fit` method which currently requires having all the
tensors in the first argument of the model call function: `model(inputs)`.

If you choose this second option, there are three possibilities you can use to gather all the input Tensors in the
first positional argument :

- a single Tensor with `input_ids` only and nothing else: `model(inputs_ids)`
- a list of varying length with one or several input Tensors IN THE ORDER given in the docstring:
`model([input_ids, attention_mask])`
- a dictionary with one or several input Tensors associated to the input names given in the docstring:
`model(&amp;lcub;"input_ids": input_ids})`

DistilBert Model with a multiple choice classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output and
a softmax) e.g. for RocStories/SWAG tasks.


This model inherits from [TFPreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/pr_15592/en/main_classes/model#transformers.TFPreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a [tf.keras.Model](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Model) subclass. Use it
as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and
behavior.

<Tip>

TF 2.0 models accepts two formats as inputs:

- having all inputs as keyword arguments (like PyTorch models), or
- having all inputs as a list, tuple or dict in the first positional arguments.

This second option is useful when using `tf.keras.Model.fit` method which currently requires having all the
tensors in the first argument of the model call function: `model(inputs)`.

If you choose this second option, there are three possibilities you can use to gather all the input Tensors in the
first positional argument :

- a single Tensor with `input_ids` only and nothing else: `model(inputs_ids)`
- a list of varying length with one or several input Tensors IN THE ORDER given in the docstring:
`model([input_ids, attention_mask])`
- a dictionary with one or several input Tensors associated to the input names given in the docstring:
`model(&amp;lcub;"input_ids": input_ids})`

DistilBert Model with a token classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the hidden-states output) e.g.
for Named-Entity-Recognition (NER) tasks.


This model inherits from [FlaxPreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/pr_15592/en/main_classes/model#transformers.FlaxPreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading, saving and converting weights from PyTorch models)

This model is also a Flax Linen [flax.linen.Module](https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/flax.linen.html#module)
subclass. Use it as a regular Flax linen Module and refer to the Flax documentation for all matter related to
general usage and behavior.

Finally, this model supports inherent JAX features such as:

- [Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jax.html#just-in-time-compilation-jit)
- [Automatic Differentiation](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jax.html#automatic-differentiation)
