This is our reproduction using the official HuggingFace roberta architecture with a medium size. On the architecture side, RoBERTa is exactly the same as BERT except for its larger vocabulary size.
According to Google's BERT releases and BERT-Medium, a medium sized model should have a config of Layer=8, Hidden=512, #AttnHeads=8, and IntermediateSize=2048. We follow this config to pre-train a RoBERTa-base model for reproduction.
We use the same datasets as BERT (English Wikipedia and Book Corpus) to pre-train for 30k steps with a batch size of 8,192. I also released the reproduction of this dataset on HuggingFace.
We utilized DeepSpeed ZeRO-2 for performance optimization.
