by Damien Sileo sileod/deberta-v3-base-tasksource-nli

deberta-v3-base-tasksource-nli is an open-weight model for zero-shot classification from Damien Sileo, released under Apache License 2.0. It has 184M parameters and a 512-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 0.4 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 14.3k downloads a month.

NOTE Deprecated: use https://huggingface.co/tasksource/deberta-small-long-nli for longer context and better accuracy. This is DeBERTa-v3-base fine-tuned with multi-task learning on 600+ tasks of the tasksource collection.

Questions About deberta-v3-base-tasksource-nli

How much GPU memory does deberta-v3-base-tasksource-nli need?

About 0.4 GB at 16-bit and 0.1 GB at 4-bit: the weights (184M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run deberta-v3-base-tasksource-nli on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

This model was trained using SentenceTransformers Cross-Encoder class. This model is based on microsoft/deberta-v3-base The model was trained on the SNLI and MultiNLI datasets. For a given sentence pair, it will output three scores corresponding to the labels: contradiction, entailment, neutral. For futher evaluation results, see SBERT.net - Pretrained Cross-Encoder. Pre-trained models can be used like this: You can use the model also directly with Transformers library (without SentenceTransformers library): This model can also be used for zero-shot-classification

This model was trained on the MultiNLI, Fever-NLI and Adversarial-NLI (ANLI) datasets, which comprise 763 913 NLI hypothesis-premise pairs. This base model outperforms almost all large models on the ANLI benchmark. The base model is DeBERTa-v3-base from Microsoft. The v3 variant of DeBERTa substantially outperforms previous versions of the model by including a different pre-training objective, see annex 11 of the original DeBERTa paper. For highest performance (but less speed), I recommend using https://huggingface.co/MoritzLaurer/DeBERTa-v3-large-mnli-fever-anli-ling-wanli.

Models in this series are designed for efficient zeroshot classification with the Hugging Face pipeline. These models can do classification without training data and run on both GPUs and CPUs. An overview of the latest zeroshot classifiers is available in my Zeroshot Classifier Collection. The main update of this zeroshot-v2.0 series of models is that several models are trained on fully commercially-friendly data for users with strict license requirements. These models can do one universal classification task: determine whether a hypothesis is "true" or "not true" given a text (entailment vs. notentailment). This task format is based on the Natural Language Inference task (NLI). The task is…

The model is designed for zero-shot classification with the Hugging Face pipeline. The model can do one universal classification task: determine whether a hypothesis is "true" or "not true" given a text (entailment vs. notentailment). This task format is based on the Natural Language Inference task (NLI). The task is so universal that any classification task can be reformulated into this task. A detailed description of how the model was trained and how it can be used is available in this paper. The model was trained on a mixture of 33 datasets and 387 classes that have been reformatted into this universal format. 1. Five NLI datasets with ~885k texts: "mnli", "anli", "fever", "wanli"…
