# This model is trained on 180G data, we recommend using this one than the original version.

## Chinese ELECTRA
Google and Stanford University released a new pre-trained model called ELECTRA, which has a much compact model size and relatively competitive performance compared to BERT and its variants.
For further accelerating the research of the Chinese pre-trained model, the Joint Laboratory of HIT and iFLYTEK Research (HFL) has released the Chinese ELECTRA models based on the official code of ELECTRA.
ELECTRA-small could reach similar or even higher scores on several NLP tasks with only 1/10 parameters compared to BERT and its variants.

This project is based on the official code of ELECTRA: [https://github.com/google-research/electra](https://github.com/google-research/electra)
