Performs extractive QA by encoding question-passage pairs through a 24-layer MobileBERT transformer architecture, then predicting start and end token positions via dense classification heads. Uses SQuAD v2 fine-tuning which includes unanswerable questions, enabling the model to abstain when no valid answer exists in the passage. The model outputs logit scores for each token position, with post-processing to extract the highest-confidence span.
Unique: MobileBERT uses bottleneck layer architecture with knowledge distillation from BERT-large, achieving 4.3x smaller model size (25MB) and 5.5x faster inference than BERT-base while maintaining 95%+ accuracy on SQuAD v2. This is achieved through inverted bottleneck blocks (wide intermediate layers, narrow hidden states) and aggressive parameter sharing, not just pruning.
vs alternatives: Significantly faster and smaller than BERT-base QA models (25MB vs 110MB, 5.5x speedup) with minimal accuracy loss, making it the preferred choice for mobile/edge deployment; slower but more accurate than DistilBERT for QA tasks due to superior architecture design.
Leverages SQuAD v2 training which includes ~33% unanswerable questions to learn when to abstain from answering. The model predicts a special [CLS] token logit score alongside span predictions; when this score exceeds the span confidence, the model returns 'unanswerable' rather than forcing an incorrect extraction. This is implemented as a three-way classification: start position, end position, and 'no answer' token probability.
Unique: SQuAD v2 training includes adversarially-written unanswerable questions (plausible but incorrect passages) rather than random negatives, forcing the model to learn semantic mismatch detection. MobileBERT preserves this capability through its [CLS] token 'no answer' head, enabling robust abstention without post-hoc filtering.
vs alternatives: More reliable unanswerable detection than SQuAD v1-only models due to adversarial training data; comparable to full BERT-base but with 5.5x faster inference, making it practical for real-time filtering in retrieval pipelines.
Model is distributed in multiple optimized formats: PyTorch (.pt), ONNX (.onnx for cross-platform inference), and SafeTensors (.safetensors for secure deserialization). ONNX format enables hardware-accelerated inference on mobile (iOS/Android via ONNX Runtime), browsers (WebAssembly), and edge devices. The 25MB base model can be further quantized (INT8, FP16) reducing size to 6-12MB with <5% accuracy loss, enabling deployment on devices with <100MB storage.
Unique: MobileBERT's bottleneck architecture is inherently ONNX-friendly due to simpler computation graphs; combined with SafeTensors format (faster, safer deserialization than pickle), enables sub-100ms inference on mobile devices. The model is pre-optimized for ONNX export without requiring post-training quantization-aware training.
vs alternatives: Smaller and faster than BERT-base for ONNX deployment (25MB vs 110MB, 5.5x speedup); more accurate than DistilBERT while maintaining comparable model size, making it the optimal choice for mobile QA where both speed and accuracy matter.
Supports batched inference through HuggingFace transformers pipeline API, which handles tokenization, padding, and attention mask generation automatically. Uses dynamic padding (pads to max length in batch, not fixed 512) to reduce computation. Attention mechanism is standard multi-head self-attention (12 heads in MobileBERT) with token-level masking to ignore padding tokens, enabling efficient processing of variable-length questions and passages.
Unique: MobileBERT's smaller parameter count (25M vs 110M for BERT-base) enables larger batch sizes on the same hardware; combined with dynamic padding, achieves 3-4x higher throughput than BERT-base on typical GPU hardware without sacrificing accuracy.
vs alternatives: Enables higher batch throughput than BERT-base due to smaller model size; comparable batching efficiency to DistilBERT but with better accuracy, making it ideal for cost-sensitive production QA services.
MobileBERT was trained using knowledge distillation from BERT-large as the teacher model, transferring learned representations into a smaller student architecture. This enables fine-tuning on downstream tasks (like SQuAD v2) with minimal accuracy loss despite 4.3x parameter reduction. The distillation approach uses intermediate layer matching and attention transfer, not just final logit matching, preserving semantic understanding across layers.
Unique: MobileBERT uses inverted bottleneck architecture (wide intermediate layers, narrow hidden states) combined with intermediate layer distillation, achieving superior compression compared to simple pruning or quantization. This architectural design is inherently distillation-friendly, enabling efficient knowledge transfer.
vs alternatives: More effective knowledge transfer than DistilBERT (which uses only final layer distillation) due to intermediate layer matching; enables fine-tuning on custom datasets with better accuracy retention than training smaller models from scratch.
Model is distributed in three formats: PyTorch (.pt), ONNX (.onnx), and SafeTensors (.safetensors). SafeTensors is a newer format that avoids pickle deserialization vulnerabilities by using a simple binary format with explicit type information. This enables safe loading of untrusted model files without arbitrary code execution risk. All three formats are available from the HuggingFace Hub with automatic format detection.
Unique: SafeTensors format eliminates pickle deserialization vulnerabilities by using explicit binary format with type information, enabling safe model sharing. Combined with ONNX support, provides three independent paths for safe, framework-agnostic model loading.
vs alternatives: Safer than BERT-base or DistilBERT which typically only distribute PyTorch format; SafeTensors + ONNX options provide better security and framework flexibility than single-format distribution.
Model is compatible with Azure ML inference endpoints, enabling serverless QA deployment with automatic scaling. Azure integration includes model registration, endpoint creation, and REST API exposure without manual infrastructure setup. The model can be deployed as a managed endpoint with auto-scaling based on request volume, with built-in monitoring and logging.
Unique: Azure endpoints_compatible tag indicates pre-tested deployment configuration; model size (25MB) enables fast endpoint startup and scaling compared to larger models, reducing cold start latency.
vs alternatives: Faster Azure deployment than BERT-base due to smaller model size and simpler inference graph; comparable to DistilBERT but with better accuracy, making it cost-effective for Azure-based QA services.
