readme: [bioformer-cased-v1.0](https://huggingface.co/bioformers/bioformer-cased-v1.0) fined-tuned on the [SQuAD1](https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer) dataset for 3 epochs.
  
  The fine-tuning process was performed on a single P100 GPUs (16GB). The hyperparameters are:
  
  ```
  max_seq_length=512
  per_device_train_batch_size=16
  gradient_accumulation_steps=1
  total train batch size (w. parallel, distributed & accumulation) = 16
  learning_rate=3e-5
  num_train_epochs=3
  ```
  
  ## Evaluation results
  
  ```
  "eval_exact_match": 78.55250709555345
  "eval_f1": 85.91482799690257
  ```
  
  Bioformer's performance is on par with [DistilBERT](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.01108.pdf) (EM/F1: 77.7/85.8), 
  although Bioformer was pretrained only on biomedical texts. 
  
  
  ## Speed
  In our experiments, the inference speed of Bioformer is 3x as fast as BERT-base/BioBERT/PubMedBERT, and is 40% faster than DistilBERT.
