# What does this PR do?

This updates the top-level readme files say the project has been tested with Python 3.8+ (instead of 3.7+) and PyTorch 1.10+ (instead of 1.9+). Versions prior to those are no longer supported as of [v4.31.0](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/releases/tag/v4.31.0). It also updates some other versions in those lists, that had become out of date earlier. The non-English readme files were less up to date than the English readme file `README.md`.

I allowed my editor to remove trailing whitespace, since it does not appear to have been intentional. Rendered Markdown does not appear changed. After editing all seven READMEs, running `make fix-copies` (required to pass CI) propagated this whitespace removal to (just) one of the `index.md` files, which is why that is also changed. However, I understand if whitespace removal may be viewed as best done separately; if requested, I'd be pleased to modify this PR to retain the trailing whitespace.

## Rationale

My reasoning is similar as the reasoning that was given for the previous update to these versions in #24307. As of [**v4.31.0**](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/releases/tag/v4.31.0), 🤗 Transformers has dropped support for Python 3.7 (#24091) and for PyTorch 1.9 (#24080). Because of that:

- If the version ranges noted in the readme files are not changed, some users are likely to be mislead into expecting new releases of 🤗 Transformers to support those versions.
- A lesser issue is that the claim that this repository is tested on all those versions will gradually become inaccurate as further contributions are made to the repository, now that those versions are not supported.

# MobileBERT

## Overview

The MobileBERT model was proposed in [MobileBERT: a Compact Task-Agnostic BERT for Resource-Limited Devices](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.02984) by Zhiqing Sun, Hongkun Yu, Xiaodan Song, Renjie Liu, Yiming Yang, and Denny
Zhou. It's a bidirectional transformer based on the BERT model, which is compressed and accelerated using several
approaches.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*Natural Language Processing (NLP) has recently achieved great success by using huge pre-trained models with hundreds
of millions of parameters. However, these models suffer from heavy model sizes and high latency such that they cannot
be deployed to resource-limited mobile devices. In this paper, we propose MobileBERT for compressing and accelerating
the popular BERT model. Like the original BERT, MobileBERT is task-agnostic, that is, it can be generically applied to
various downstream NLP tasks via simple fine-tuning. Basically, MobileBERT is a thin version of BERT_LARGE, while
equipped with bottleneck structures and a carefully designed balance between self-attentions and feed-forward networks.
To train MobileBERT, we first train a specially designed teacher model, an inverted-bottleneck incorporated BERT_LARGE
model. Then, we conduct knowledge transfer from this teacher to MobileBERT. Empirical studies show that MobileBERT is
4.3x smaller and 5.5x faster than BERT_BASE while achieving competitive results on well-known benchmarks. On the
natural language inference tasks of GLUE, MobileBERT achieves a GLUEscore o 77.7 (0.6 lower than BERT_BASE), and 62 ms
latency on a Pixel 4 phone. On the SQuAD v1.1/v2.0 question answering task, MobileBERT achieves a dev F1 score of
90.0/79.2 (1.5/2.1 higher than BERT_BASE).*

Tips:

- MobileBERT is a model with absolute position embeddings so it's usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather
  than the left.
- MobileBERT is similar to BERT and therefore relies on the masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It is therefore
  efficient at predicting masked tokens and at NLU in general, but is not optimal for text generation. Models trained
  with a causal language modeling (CLM) objective are better in that regard.

This model was contributed by [vshampor](https://huggingface.co/vshampor). The original code can be found [here](https://github.com/google-research/mobilebert).
