[squeezebert-uncased](https://huggingface.co/squeezebert/squeezebert-uncased) fine-tuned on [SQUAD v1.1](https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/explore/1.1/dev/) for **Q&A** downstream task.
## Details of SqueezeBERT
This model, `squeezebert-uncased`, is a pretrained model for the English language using a masked language modeling (MLM) and Sentence Order Prediction (SOP) objective.
SqueezeBERT was introduced in [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11316). This model is case-insensitive. The model architecture is similar to BERT-base, but with the pointwise fully-connected layers replaced with [grouped convolutions](https://blog.yani.io/filter-group-tutorial/).
The authors found that SqueezeBERT is 4.3x faster than `bert-base-uncased` on a Google Pixel 3 smartphone.

## Details of the downstream task (Q&A) - Dataset 📚 🧐 ❓
**S**tanford **Q**uestion **A**nswering **D**ataset (SQuAD) is a reading comprehension dataset, consisting of questions posed by crowdworkers on a set of Wikipedia articles, where the answer to every question is a segment of text, or span, from the corresponding reading passage, or the question might be unanswerable.
SQuAD v1.1 contains **100,000+** question-answer pairs on **500+** articles.
## Model training 🏋️
The model was trained on a Tesla P100 GPU and 25GB of RAM with the following command:
