Test Driven / Development
February 22, 2016
Alyssa Page
Test driven devlopment is writing tests first and then writing code to make those tests pass instead of the other way around. When a developer wants to add new functionality or an improvement using the test driven development method can produce the minimum amount of code to make the test pass.
First the developer will write a base case test that will fail initially. If it does not fail either the functionality already exists or the test itself does not work. Writing the test first makes sure that the develper understands what the new feature really requires. Next the developer will write code that causes the tests to pass. It does not have to be optimal because refactoring will happen later.
Tests should be run again to make sure all tests pass. This includes the tests for pre existing code to ensure that the new functionality did not break any previous code. When all tests pass, it can be cleaned up and moved to the part of the code structure that it most logically belongs. These steps are repeated each time something is added.
The idea behind test driven development is a shortened development life cycle. It ensures that the developer really understand what the new features are required to do and no excess is being created.


Let’s face it, understanding the concept of ‘geocenter motion’ is not for the faint-hearted. On a good day it is only confusing, while on bad days we would rather avoid the subject all together. The story below is meant to clear the fog somewhat for those of you who have more bad days than good days. We additionally provide links to recently calculated geocenter motion time series, for those of you who want to get started with real data.
Continue reading...Around Christmas time last year, a falling star, caused by the reentry of the GRACE-2 satellite vehicle, marked the end of an unprecedented gravity mission. It therefore makes sense to find alternatives for the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), which can be used to bridge the gap with the GRACE Follow-on mission. A recent paper by Christina Lück et al. now shows whether the Swarm mission can help out in filling this gap.
Continue reading...Up to now, I never bothered to encrypt my email as my attitude was that, as a scientist, I got nothing to hide. But in light of the recently installed science-deprived administration in the US, I’m starting to think that a healthy streak of paranoia wouldn’t harm after all.

| Multi-user Blogs |
|
By default, a single Pebble instance hosts a single blog meaning that you will need to run an additional instances to host additional blogs. The benefit of this is that blogs are isolated from one another, although having multiple web applications will use more resources. Pebble has the ability to be able to run more than a single blog from a single instance of the Pebble web application. This is Pebble's "multi-user" mode.
There are several differences to the default installation required to support this.
In multi-user mode, the
This page shows summary information for all blogs running on Pebble and links to the blogs themselves and the last three blog entries (if applicable). Clicking on any of the blog names will take you to the home page of that blog.
Each individual blog works in the same way that blogs do in the single user mode, with the exception that the URLs are slightly different. Instead of
SecurityAn important point to mention about multi-user blogs is security. Defining a number of users with the same roles (i.e.blog-owner and blog-contributor ) means that anybody with the appropriate role can access the corresponding functions on any blog. For example, if you create a unique user for each of the blog1, blog2 and blog3 blogs, the blog1 user will be able to access all of the blog owner and blog contributor functionality of blog2 and blog3. Ideally, you probably want the blog1 user to only be able to access the functions of blog1.
To achieve this, login, navigate to blog1 and click the Blog properties link. Towards the middle of the page is a Security section with two textfields. In the Blog owners textfield, simply enter a comma separated list of usernames for all those users that you would like to access the blog owner features for this blog. Similarly, enter a comma separated list of usernames for blog contributors in the Blog contributors field. In doing this, you restrict the users that can access the protected features of the blog. So, although all three users are members of the same role, only the blog1 user will be able to access the protected features of this blog.
PrivacyIn multi-user mode, all blogs will automatically show up on the multi-user front page and their content will appear in the combined news feeds. To stop this from occurring you can mark your blog to be private in the blog properties. In effect, this hides your blog and readers can still navigate directly to your blog. For a truely private, password protected blog, see Private Blogs.
ThemesThemes work in the same way as when Pebble is running in single user mode. To summarise, each blog has it's own private theme that can be customized and only this theme can be edited by blog owners through the web interface. The reason behind this is to prevent changes to themes being reflected in other blogs unknowingly. The only real difference between themes in single and multi-user modes is in the name of the custom, editable theme. In single user mode this is calledcustom , whereas in multi-user mode, the editable theme is named the same as the blog. For example, if the blog is accessed by the URL .../blog1/ , the name of the editable theme is called blog1 .
Pebble AdministrationIn addition to theblog-owner and blog-contributor security roles, in multi-user mode, an additional role called pebble-admin can be granted to one or more users. Users in this role will be able to perform some higher level administration tasks as follows.

Hey! Finally, I am publishing here an online public version of my dissertation “Unwarping Heated Bones: A Quantitative Analysis of Heat-induced Skeletal Deformations Using 3D Geometric Morphometrics” for the fullfilment of Masters degree in Human Evolution and Biology at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra. Hoping to get some commentaries now on it, so that I can incorporate really polished diamonds into the future scientific articles spawning from it.
First, you should notice that I have a repo on github where you can download all the materials to perform the complete data analysis that is published in my thesis manuscript. The reasons for letting others do this are 3-fold:
- Giving back to the scientific community through sharing my data with all;
- Validate my analysis through mass-peer-review;
- Allow others to perform and test new ideas with my data or theirs (yo, but please say something if you are planning to do);
This does not only include the clusters of landmarks used for geometric morphometrics, but all the code in R to apply the methodologies used. For those who don’t know GitHub, it is the perfect environment for code-based scientific collaboration. It works through a system of pull and push where everyone can edit any info on the online folder, while maintaining a full version-controlled flow of work with an historic report of all the edits available and fully documented to the public. A true tool of Science 2.0.
Of course to make sense of it, most code is accompanied by commentaries. Yet, since information is never too much, my thesis is from today onwards out there as well. You just need to click here to read it.
Good read.

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.u
"What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table — Samsa was a travelling salesman — and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.
— Franz Kafka, Metamorphosis

The Menu can be augmented with one of three different plugins—dropdown menu, drilldown menu, or accordion menu. However, these patterns tend to work best on specific screen sizes.
With our responsive Menu plugin, you can apply a default pattern to a Menu, and then change that pattern on other screen sizes.
For example, a drilldown menu works well on mobile, but on medium/larger screens, you may want to convert that same menu into a dropdown. Here's an example that does just that:


{% extends "bootstrap/base.html" %} {% import "bootstrap/wtf.html" as wtf %} {% import "bootstrap/fixes.html" as fixes %} {% import "bootstrap/utils.html" as util %} {% block content %}

BELLS FROM THE DEEP A film review by Max Hoffmann Copyright 1993 Max Hoffmann
Seen: Fri 5/7/93, Camera 3 San Jose, SF Film Festival Rating: 10 (scale of 1->10)
Director: Werner Herzog Camera: ??? Editor: ??? Running Time: less than an hour
There were no program notes on this late entry at the festival, and it was too dark in the theatre to capture the rushing credits. In a nutshell, Herzog sets his camera running with beautiful backdrops throughout Russia. He places various peasants and country folk who speak directly to the lens about their religion/faith/superstitions. It's fascinating viewing. This would be the equivalent to letting the camera roll in the backwoods of America to let snake handlers and holy rollers tell their view of reality.
Near Mongolia, we see the "Yulas," tribes who make strange, deep frog-like croakings to reach a meditative state. View old people on their hands and knees crawling around Lake Kitesh, where they believe there is an enchanted city with angels at the bottom. More chilling is the image of the faithful crawling out "on thin ice" as far as they can to "view" the city below them. As they do, you hear the eerie tearing noises of cracking ice.
A believable "Rasputin" (redeemer) makes frequent appearances and comments, with a DaVinci like river background. You hear him speaking in endless New Testiment-like platitudes reminiscent of Elizabeth Claire Prophet. (In light of the recent Waco faithful-fry, it's sometimes chilling.) In the director's Q/A afterward, Herzog revealed at the time of the filming last year there were about a hundred "Rasputins" claiming to be Jesus returned. Now the number is closer to three hundred. This s a normal phenomenon that occurs whenever Russia is in a state of crisis and the faithful have trouble coping with a changing world.
Although you try not to snicker, some of the images approach Monty Python humor; like the "grand sorcerer of Russia" who tries a mass exorcism of a dozen highly spiritied "possessed" women on a high school gymnasium stage. Herzog takes a similar tack to LESSONS OF DARKNESS where there is no narration to add judgement or a spin to what you are viewing. To an American audience, conditioned by CNN sound bites and news images that resemble action sequences from a Bruce Willis trailer, it's remarkably refreshing to have an extended view of a phenomenon and be forced to draw your own reaction, without help.
Very striking photography, and a lean but touching score.

The EU and JAPAN highlighted the role of national communications.
The chairs will prepare draft text. CAPACITY BUILDING (PROTOCOL) : SOUTH AFRICA, with several other developing countries, highlighted limited geographical distribution of CDM projects and the need to increase capacity.
The EU, with JAPAN, stressed that this group mandate does not include the nature of the CDM.
The co-chairs will produce a draft text.
On avoiding perverse incentives that would result in increased production of HCFC-22 as a result of crediting the destruction of HFC-23 under the CDM, BRAZIL, SOUTH AFRICA, BOLIVIA and others proposed limiting crediting to existing production capacity.

With the EU, JAPAN suggested exploring solutions that would provide incentives for mitigation but not for increased production.
Informal consultations will continue.
The Secretariat explained that the 1946 UN Convention on Privileges and Immunities cannot automatically be extended to individuals serving in constituted bodies under the Protocol, and a new legal instrument or ad hoc arrangements are necessary.

The group will reconvene on Saturday.
Co-Chairs Sach and Levaggi proposed exchanging views based on the criteria in the annex of Decision 3/CP.4 (review of the financial mechanism).

The co-chairs will prepare draft conclusions by Saturday.
Before beginning discussions on revising the initial list of activities for the period from SBSTA 24 to SBSTA 28 under the five-year programme of work on adaptation (as presented in the report of the Vienna informal meeting), the G-77/CHINA proposed various additions and alternative text.
Consultations on the G-77/China proposal resumed in the evening.
SBI Chair Becker introduced this item (FCCC/SBI/2005/10 annex I).
The PHILIPPINES said the SCCF was to address urgent needs of developing countries since the operating entity of the financial mechanism cannot adequately do so. COLOMBIA said that SCCF must consist of new and additional funding rather than have ODA channeled through it.
The EU stated that activities under the SCCF and Adaptation Fund should not overlap.
Bubu Pateh Jallow (Gambia) will chair a contact group.
In informal consultations, several industrialized countries said further consideration of this issue was not necessary, as the Special Report provided parties with the guidance they need to act domestically.
However, another group of developed countries highlighted the need for further coordination and consideration at the international level.
Draft conclusions will be prepared.
Parties exchanged views on the work of the CGE, compilation and synthesis of initial national communications, and the provision of financial and technical support.
Several parties suggested that a seventh compilation document was not necessary.
One developed country said the Secretariat could go a step further and analyze communications, however developing countries disagreed, saying the focus should be on obstacles to the preparation of communications.
Further discussions will be held.
Many participants seemed to be suffering from meeting fatigue on Friday, with delegates talking about ennui or an enthusiasm deficit.
Some blamed the fact that they are in their fourth week of meetings, following the recent IPCC and CSD sessions.
Other suggested that this was due to the fact that the process for deciding on long-term, post-2012 issues has just begun, with a long road ahead before any key decisions are likely.
Meanwhile, several delegates noted that perennial issues on the SB agenda seemed to be going nowhere.
Having returned to the process after several years, it is strange to note that the conversations on some issues are exactly the same, observed one delegate.
Richard Kinley, UNFCCC Officer-in-Charge, briefed delegates on arrangements for COP 12 and COP/MOP 2 (FCCC/SBI/2006/2), highlighting the huge challenge of holding the COP, COP/MOP, SBI, SBSTA, AWG, UNFCCC Dialogue, and contact groups within a two-week period.
Australia, for the UMBRELLA GROUP, supported by the EU and SWITZERLAND, said the meeting should not extend beyond two weeks, and advocated issue prioritization.
SOUTH AFRICA urged finding the most effective approach, and said extending the session by two days would not be harmful.
Richard Kinley noted questions about the participation of observers in the COP/MOP.
AUSTRALIA noted its submission asserting serious inaccuracies in the Secretariat's Note (FCCC/SBI/2006/2, paragraphs 32-33).
The US said the status of parties to the UNFCCC but not the Protocol was clear under Protocol Articles 13.2 and 15.2.
Richard Kinley noted recent discussions on how to manage complicated agendas, multiplicity of contact groups, and exhaustion of delegates.
CANADA, the EU and SWITZERLAND supported further streamlining.
A contact group on these issues will be co-chaired by Sandea de Wet (South Africa) and Aloisia Wörgetter (Austria).
The Secretariat introduced a synthesis of reports on demonstrable progress by Annex I countries in achieving their Kyoto targets (FCCC/SBI/2006/INF.2).
The G-77/CHINA emphasized that Annex I countries are failing to honour their Kyoto obligations and proposed referring the issue to the compliance committee.
The EU, JAPAN and others emphasized their commitment to the Kyoto targets and NEW ZEALAND proposed considering the issue at SB 25 to include the missing progress reports.
Dimitrios Lalas (Greece) will chair informal consultations.
The Secretariat introduced documents relating to the Adaptation Fund (FCCC/SBI/2006/MISC.5, MISC.7 & Add.1) and Chair Becker reported on the workshop in Edmonton (FCCC/SBI/2006/10).
BARBADOS and TUVALU called for special consideration of SIDS in the management of the Fund.
The EU, COLOMBIA and SWITZERLAND supported the GEF as the operating entity of the Fund.
With support from many developing countries, COLOMBIA added that the Fund should be managed independently and have flexible operational policies.
INDONESIA said technical assistance should be eligible for funding.
Levaggi and Sach will co-chair a contact group.
On Annex I parties ' policies and measures, the EU, SAUDI ARABIA, BELARUS and others, opposed by the US and JAPAN, supported further consideration of this issue by SBSTA.
SWITZERLAND and JAPAN called for rationalization of SBSTA's agenda.
Normand Trembley (Canada) and Héctor Ginzo (Argentina) will facilitate consultations. PROTOCOL ARTICLE 2.3 (ADVERSE EFFECTS): The EU, JAPAN and SWITZERLAND said a separate agenda item on Article 2.3 was not necessary.
QATAR, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES and SAUDI ARABIA disagreed.
SAUDI ARABIA, supported by CHINA and EGYPT, insisted on a contact group, while the EU and JAPAN objected.
Informal consultations will be held on how to proceed.
Delegates were briefed on cooperative activities (FCCC/SBSTA/2006/MISC.4), a relevant CBD decision in March 2006, the outcome of CSD 14, and recent activities of the IPCC. MAURITIUS called for a SBSTA agenda item on the Mauritius Strategy.
The EU and SWITZERLAND stressed enhanced cooperation between UNFCCC, CBD and UNCCD, while the US and CHINA noted the distinct nature of the three Rio conventions.
Greg Picker (Australia) and Marcela Main (Chile) will conduct informal consultations.

Quickstart¶
Introduction¶
Textbrewer is designed for the knowledge distillation of NLP models. It provides various distillation methods and offers a distillation framework for quickly setting up experiments.
The main features of TextBrewer are:
Wide-support: it supports various model architectures (especially transformer-based models)
Flexibility: design your own distillation scheme by combining different techniques; it also supports user-defined loss functions, modules, etc.
Easy-to-use: users don’t need to modify the model architectures
Built for NLP: it is suitable for a wide variety of NLP tasks: text classification, machine reading comprehension, sequence labeling, …
TextBrewer currently is shipped with the following distillation techniques:
Mixed soft-label and hard-label training
Dynamic loss weight adjustment and temperature adjustment
Various distillation loss functions: hidden states MSE, attention-matrix-based loss, neuron selectivity transfer, …
Freely adding intermediate features matching losses
Multi-teacher distillation
…
TextBrewer includes:
Distillers: the cores of distillation. Different distillers perform different distillation modes. There are GeneralDistiller, MultiTeacherDistiller, BasicTrainer, etc.
Configurations and presets: Configuration classes for training and distillation, and predefined distillation loss functions and strategies.
Utilities: auxiliary tools such as model parameters analysis.
To start distillation, users need to provide
the models (the trained teacher model and the un-trained student model)
datasets and experiment configurations
TextBrewer has achieved impressive results on several typical NLP tasks. See Experiments.
See API documentation for detailed usages.
Installation¶
Requirements
Python >= 3.6
PyTorch >= 1.1.0
TensorboardX or Tensorboard
NumPy
tqdm
Transformers >= 2.0 (optional, used by some examples)
Install from PyPI
pip install textbrewer
Install from the Github source
git clone https://github.com/airaria/TextBrewer.git pip install ./textbrewer
Workflow¶
Stage 1: Preparation:
Train the teacher model
Define and intialize the student model
Construct a dataloader, an optimizer and a learning rate scheduler
Stage 2: Distillation with TextBrewer:
Construct a TraningConfig and a DistillationConfig, initialize a distiller
Define an adaptor and a callback. The adaptor is used for adaptation of model inputs and outputs. The callback is called by the distiller during training
Call the train method of the distiller
Quickstart¶
Here we show the usage of TextBrewer by distilling BERT-base to a 3-layer BERT.
Before distillation, we assume users have provided:
A trained teacher model
teacher_model
(BERT-base) and a to-be-trained student modelstudent_model
(3-layer BERT).a
dataloader
of the dataset, anoptimizer
and a learning ratescheduler
.
Distill with TextBrewer:
import textbrewer
from textbrewer import GeneralDistiller
from textbrewer import TrainingConfig, DistillationConfig
# Show the statistics of model parameters
print("\nteacher_model's parametrers:")
_ = textbrewer.utils.display_parameters(teacher_model,max_level=3)
print("student_model's parametrers:")
_ = textbrewer.utils.display_parameters(student_model,max_level=3)
# Define an adaptor for translating the model inputs and outputs
def simple_adaptor(batch, model_outputs):
# The second and third elements of model outputs are the logits and hidden states
return {'logits': model_outputs[1],
'hidden': model_outputs[2]}
# Training configuration
train_config = TrainingConfig()
# Distillation configuration
# Matching different layers of the student and the teacher
distill_config = DistillationConfig(
intermediate_matches=[
{'layer_T':0, 'layer_S':0, 'feature':'hidden', 'loss': 'hidden_mse','weight' : 1},
{'layer_T':8, 'layer_S':2, 'feature':'hidden', 'loss': 'hidden_mse','weight' : 1}])
# Build distiller
distiller = GeneralDistiller(
train_config=train_config, distill_config = distill_config,
model_T = teacher_model, model_S = student_model,
adaptor_T = simple_adaptor, adaptor_S = simple_adaptor)
# Start!
with distiller:
distiller.train(optimizer, scheduler, dataloader, num_epochs=1, callback=None)
Examples can be found in the examples
directory :
examples/random_token_example : a simple runable toy example which demonstrates the usage of TextBrewer. This example performs distillation on the text classification task with random tokens as inputs.
examples/cmrc2018_example (Chinese): distillation on CMRC2018, a Chinese MRC task, using DRCD as data augmentation.
examples/mnli_example (English): distillation on MNLI, an English sentence-pair classification task. This example also shows how to perform multi-teacher distillation.
examples/conll2003_example (English): distillation on CoNLL-2003 English NER task, which is in form of sequence labeling.
Experiments¶
We have performed distillation experiments on several typical English and Chinese NLP datasets. The setups and configurations are listed below.
Models¶
For English tasks, the teacher model is BERT-base-cased.
For Chinese tasks, the teacher model is RoBERTa-wwm-ext released by the Joint Laboratory of HIT and iFLYTEK Research.
We have tested different student models. To compare with public results, the student models are built with standard transformer blocks except BiGRU which is a single-layer bidirectional GRU. The architectures are listed below. Note that the number of parameters includes the embedding layer but does not include the output layer of the each specific task.
| Model | #Layers | Hidden_size | Feed-forward size | #Params | Relative size | | :——————— | ——— | ———– | —————– | ——– | ————- | | BERT-base-cased (teacher) | 12 | 768 | 3072 | 108M | 100% | | RoBERTa-wwm-ext (teacher) | 12 | 768 | 3072 | 108M | 100% | | T6 (student) | 6 | 768 | 3072 | 65M | 60% | | T3 (student) | 3 | 768 | 3072 | 44M | 41% | | T3-small (student) | 3 | 384 | 1536 | 17M | 16% | | T4-Tiny (student) | 4 | 312 | 1200 | 14M | 13% | | BiGRU (student) | - | 768 | - | 31M | 29% |
T6 archtecture is the same as DistilBERT[1], BERT6-PKD[2], and BERT-of-Theseus[3].
T4-tiny archtecture is the same as TinyBERT[4].
T3 architecure is the same as BERT3-PKD[2].
Distillation Configurations¶
distill_config = DistillationConfig(temperature = 8, intermediate_matches = matches)
# Others arguments take the default values
matches
are differnt for different models:
| Model | matches | | :——– | ———————————————————— | | BiGRU | None | | T6 | L6_hidden_mse + L6_hidden_smmd | | T3 | L3_hidden_mse + L3_hidden_smmd | | T3-small | L3n_hidden_mse + L3_hidden_smmd | | T4-Tiny | L4t_hidden_mse + L4_hidden_smmd |
The definitions of matches are at exmaple/matches/matches.py.
We use GeneralDistiller in all the distillation experiments.
Training Configurations¶
Learning rate is 1e-4 (unless otherwise specified).
We train all the models for 30~60 epochs.
Results on English Datasets¶
We experiment on the following typical Enlgish datasets:
| Dataset | Task type | Metrics | #Train | #Dev | Note | | :———- | ——– | ——- | ——- | —- | —- | | MNLI | text classification | m/mm Acc | 393K | 20K | sentence-pair 3-class classification | | SQuAD 1.1 | reading comprehension | EM/F1 | 88K | 11K | span-extraction machine reading comprehension | | CoNLL-2003 | sequence labeling | F1 | 23K | 6K | named entity recognition |

Note:
The equivlent model architectures of public models are shown in the brackets.
When distilling to T4-tiny, NewsQA is used for data augmentation on SQuAD and HotpotQA is used for data augmentation on CoNLL-2003.
Results on Chinese Datasets¶
We experiment on the following typical Chinese datasets:
| Dataset | Task type | Metrics | #Train | #Dev | Note | | :——- | —- | ——- | ——- | —- | —- | | XNLI | text classification | Acc | 393K | 2.5K | Chinese translation version of MNLI | | LCQMC | text classification | Acc | 239K | 8.8K | sentence-pair matching, binary classification | | CMRC 2018 | reading comprehension | EM/F1 | 10K | 3.4K | span-extraction machine reading comprehension | | DRCD | reading comprehension | EM/F1 | 27K | 3.5K | span-extraction machine reading comprehension (Traditional Chinese) |
The results are listed below.

Note:
On CMRC2018 and DRCD, learning rates are 1.5e-4 and 7e-5 respectively and there is no learning rate decay.
CMRC2018 and DRCD take each other as the augmentation dataset In the experiments.
Core Concepts¶
Configurations¶
TrainingConfig
: configuration related to general deep learning model trainingDistillationConfig
: configuration related to distillation methods
Distillers¶
Distillers are in charge of conducting the actual experiments. The following distillers are available:
BasicDistiller
: single-teacher single-task distillation, provides basic distillation strategies.GeneralDistiller
(Recommended): single-teacher single-task distillation, supports intermediate features matching. Recommended most of the time.MultiTeacherDistiller
: multi-teacher distillation, which distills multiple teacher models (of the same task) into a single student model. This class doesn’t support Intermediate features matching.MultiTaskDistiller
: multi-task distillation, which distills multiple teacher models (of different tasks) into a single student. This class doesn’t support Intermediate features matching.BasicTrainer
: Supervised training a single model on a labeled dataset, not for distillation. It can be used to train a teacher model.
User-Defined Functions¶
In TextBrewer, there are two functions that should be implemented by users: callback and adaptor.
Callback¶
At each checkpoint, after saving the student model, the callback function will be called by the distiller. Callback can be used to evaluate the performance of the student model at each checkpoint.
Adaptor¶
It converts the model inputs and outputs to the specified format so that they could be recognized by the distiller, and distillation losses can be computed. At each training step, batch and model outputs will be passed to the adaptor; adaptor re-organize the data and returns a dictionary.
Fore more details, see the explanations in API documentation
FAQ¶
Q: How to initialize the student model?
A: The student model could be randomly initialized (i.e., with no prior knwledge) or be initialized by pre-trained weights. For example, when distilling a BERT-base model to a 3-layer BERT, you could initialize the student model with RBT3 (for Chinese tasks) or the first three layers of BERT (for English tasks) to avoid cold start problem. We recommend that users use pre-trained student models whenever possible to fully take the advantage of large-scale pre-training.
Q: How to set training hyperparamters for the distillation experiments？
A: Knowledge distillation usually requires more training epochs and larger learning rate than training on labeled dataset. For example, training SQuAD on BERT-base usually takes 3 epochs with lr=3e-5; however, distillation takes 30~50 epochs with lr=1e-4. The conclusions are based on our experiments, and you are advised to try on your own data.
Known Issues¶
Compatibility with FP16 training has not been tested.
Multi-GPU training support is only available through
DataParallel
currently.

# A change to my website - 15/08/21
Slowly overtime I began to neglect my personal website because I was too busy focussing on other projects. Recently I began to feel like a redesign of my personal website was necessary. Previously I had been using the Jekyll Cayman theme which, in my opinion, has started to become overused as it is one of the nicer default Jekyll themes on GitHub pages.
A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to Eleventy (also known as 11ty) from my friend Kellegram, who uses it for their website. Eleventy seemed like an easy-to-use static site generator and so I felt like it wouldn't be too hard to create a custom theme and generate the sites using the SSG.
There were four main colours I had decided to use on my website:
- whyAdamSalt's red (#ff4959) is the main accent colour of the website. It is used in headers and links. I currently use this colour as my default role colour in many Discord servers as well.
- Discord's grey (#2c2f33) is the main page colour on the website. The colour was taken from the Discord app
- Almost black (#23272a) is used as the alternate accent colour on this website. It is used in the main headerbar and code blocks.
- Skelly's almost-white (#c4c4c4) is the main text colour on the website. It was not-so-shamelessly stolen from TheEvilSkeleton's website
- An image displaying all of the colours used on my website.
- The previous website design
- Current website design
## Conclusion
Personally I feel like the new website design gives the website more uniqueness as it isn't use a preset theme. Furthermore it has also made the website more readable, as it isn't as bright and vibrant as before and uses darker elements, however it still retains some uniqueness with some contrasting accent colours.
Edit: As of 24/08/21 the website has been redesigned to keep and utalise the same colourscheme, but with a more minimalist design.

I was raised in Southern California sunshine and wildfires.
Growing up, I was really interested in the natural world, in connecting with my emotions through music, and in long distance running.
I had always wanted to be a scientist, and planned on being a physicist when I first started going to MIT.
But after some time there, I saw that spending my time figuring out the mysteries of the universe wasn't really for me.
Instead, I found excitement in storytelling and in computer science.
Today, as a recent graduate, I have a few big aspirations, like directing a feature film and helping people respect and love one another on a global scale.
I'm open to new friendships and experiences that will one day make for a riveting tale to tell my grandkids.

When the city of Seattle was founded, it was on a tidal flood plain in the Puget Sound. If this seems like a bad move, it was; but then the founders were men from the Midwest who didn't know a whole lot about tides. You'd think they'd have figured it all out before actually building the town, but apparently not. A city was established right there, and construction work began.
The financial district had it the worst, apparently. Every time the tide came in, the whole area would flood. As bad as that sounds, it's even worse when you consider that a large group of humans clustered together for many hours every day will produce a large amount of... well, organic byproducts. There were of course privies for use, but in those days a privy was a shack over a hole in the ground. Thus the privies has this distressing tendency to flood along with everything else, and that meant their contents would go floating away.
All this led many citizens to establish their residences on the hills overlooking the sound and then commute to work. Apparently Seattle's always been the same in certain ways. The problem with this arrangement back then was that the residences also generated organic byproducts, and those were headed right down the hill. Into the regularly-flooding financial district. When they finally built an above-ground sewage pipe to carry it out to sea, they neglected to place the end of the pipe above the tide line, so every time the tide came in, the pipe's flow reversed itself. The few toilets in the region would become fountains of a particularly evil kind.
