# oBERT-12-upstream-pruned-unstructured-97-finetuned-squadv1-v2
This model is obtained with [The Optimal BERT Surgeon: Scalable and Accurate Second-Order Pruning for Large Language Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07259).
It corresponds to the model presented in the `Table 2 - oBERT - SQuADv1 97%` (in the upcoming updated version of the paper).
```
Pruning method: oBERT upstream unstructured + sparse-transfer to downstream
Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07259
Dataset: SQuADv1
Sparsity: 97%
Number of layers: 12
```
The dev-set performance reported in the paper is averaged over four seeds, and we release the best model (marked with `(*)`):
```
| oBERT 97% | F1 | EM |
| ------------- | ----- | ----- |
| seed=42 | 84.92 | 76.94 |
| seed=3407 | 84.87 | 76.71 |
| seed=123 | 84.95 | 77.06 |
| seed=12345 (*)| 84.95 | 76.90 |
| ------------- | ----- | ----- |
| mean | 84.92 | 76.90 |
| stdev | 0.037 | 0.145 |
