 ## ELECTRA: Pre-training Text Encoders as Discriminators Rather Than Generators
 **ELECTRA** is a new method for self-supervised language representation learning. It can be used to pre-train transformer networks using relatively little compute. ELECTRA models are trained to distinguish "real" input tokens vs "fake" input tokens generated by another neural network, similar to the discriminator of a [GAN](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.2661.pdf). At small scale, ELECTRA achieves strong results even when trained on a single GPU. At large scale, ELECTRA achieves state-of-the-art results on the [SQuAD 2.0](https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/) dataset.

+**WARNING**: This is the official generator checkpoint as in the [ELECTRA original codebase](https://github.com/google-research/electra). However, this model is not scaled properly for pre-training with [google/electra-small-discriminator](https://huggingface.co/google/electra-small-discriminator). The paper recommends a hyperparameter multiplier of 1/4 between the discriminator and generator for this given model to avoid training instabilities. This would not be the case when using `google/electra-small-generator` and `google/electra-small-discriminator`, which are similar in size.
