Pretraining

We use the official JAX/FLAX example in Hugging Face Transformers to pretrain a ByT5 model on a single v3-8 TPU. Details about the training can be found here.

This model was trained with mean_noise_span_length=20 for one epoch.

Evaluation on Downstream Tasks (NER)

See detailed results at hmLeaderboard.
