+# Patience-based Early Exit
+
+Patience-based Early Exit (PABEE) is a plug-and-play inference method for pretrained language models.
+We have already implemented it on BERT and ALBERT. Basically, you can make your LM faster and more robust with PABEE. It can even improve the performance of ALBERT on GLUE. The only sacrifice is that the batch size can only be 1.
+Learn more in the paper ["BERT Loses Patience: Fast and Robust Inference with Early Exit"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.04152) and the official [GitHub repo](https://github.com/JetRunner/PABEE).
+
+![PABEE](https://github.com/JetRunner/PABEE/raw/master/bert-loses-patience.png)
+
+## Training
+
+You can fine-tune a pretrained language model (you can choose from BERT and ALBERT) and train the internal classifiers by:
+```bash
+export GLUE_DIR=/path/to/glue_data
+export TASK_NAME=MRPC
+
+python ./run_glue_with_pabee.py \
+  --model_type albert \
+  --model_name_or_path bert-base-uncased/albert-base-v2 \
+  --task_name $TASK_NAME \
+  --do_train \
+  --do_eval \
+  --do_lower_case \
+  --data_dir "$GLUE_DIR/$TASK_NAME" \
+  --max_seq_length 128 \
+  --per_gpu_train_batch_size 32 \
+  --per_gpu_eval_batch_size 32 \
+  --learning_rate 2e-5 \
+  --save_steps 50 \
+  --logging_steps 50 \
+  --num_train_epochs 5 \
+  --output_dir /path/to/save/ \
+  --evaluate_during_training
+```
+
+## Inference
+
+You can inference with different patience settings by:
+```bash
+export GLUE_DIR=/path/to/glue_data
+export TASK_NAME=MRPC
+
+python ./run_glue_with_pabee.py \
+  --model_type albert \
+  --model_name_or_path /path/to/save/ \
+  --task_name $TASK_NAME \
+  --do_eval \
+  --do_lower_case \
+  --data_dir "$GLUE_DIR/$TASK_NAME" \
+  --max_seq_length 128 \
+  --per_gpu_eval_batch_size 1 \
+  --learning_rate 2e-5 \
+  --logging_steps 50 \
+  --num_train_epochs 15 \
+  --output_dir /path/to/save/ \
+  --eval_all_checkpoints \
+  --patience 3,4,5,6,7,8
+```
+where `patience` can be a list of patience settings, separated by a comma. It will help determine which patience works best.
+
+When evaluating on a regression task (STS-B), you may add `--regression_threshold 0.1` to define the regression threshold.
