We initialized Clinical-Longformer from the pre-trained weights of the base version of Longformer. The pre-training process was distributed in parallel to 6 32GB Tesla V100 GPUs. FP16 precision was enabled to accelerate training. We pre-trained Clinical-Longformer for 200,000 steps with batch size of 6×3. The learning rates were 3e-5 for both models. The entire pre-training process took more than 2 weeks. Load the model directly from Transformers: If you find our model helps, please consider citing this:) Please email [email protected]
