In a new paper Exponentially Faster Language Modelling, an ETH Zurich research team introduces UltraFastBERT, a variant of the BERT architecture. UltraFastBERT takes a revolutionary approach by replacing feedforward layers with fast feedforward networks, resulting in an impressive 78x speedup over the optimized baseline feedforward implementation.
