| # Model Description |
| BioDistilBERT-cased was developed by training the [DistilBERT-cased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-cased?text=The+goal+of+life+is+%5BMASK%5D.) model in a continual learning fashion for 200k training steps using a total batch size of 192 on the PubMed dataset. |
|
|
|
|
| # Initialisation |
| We initialise our model with the pre-trained checkpoints of the [DistilBERT-cased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-cased?text=The+goal+of+life+is+%5BMASK%5D.) model available on Huggingface. |
|
|
| # Architecture |
| In this model, the size of the hidden dimension and the embedding layer are both set to 768. The vocabulary size is 28996. The number of transformer layers is 6 and the expansion rate of the feed-forward layer is 4. Overall, this model has around 65 million parameters. |
