## Model weights for Parallel Roberta-Large model ##

We provide the [weights](https://huggingface.co/luffycodes/Parallel-Roberta-Large) for the parallel attention and feedforward design for Roberta-Large.

To use this model, use the following [paf_modeling_roberta.py](https://github.com/luffycodes/Parallel-Transformers-Pytorch/blob/main/paf_modeling_roberta.py) file.

Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch:

```python
from transformers import RobertaTokenizer
from paf_modeling_roberta import RobertaModel
tokenizer = RobertaTokenizer.from_pretrained('roberta-large')
model = RobertaModel.from_pretrained('luffycodes/parallel-roberta-large')
text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
output = model(**encoded_input)
```

## Evaluation results

When fine-tuned on downstream tasks, this model achieves the following results:
