# Model Description
TinyBioBERT is a distilled version of the [BioBERT](https://huggingface.co/dmis-lab/biobert-base-cased-v1.2?text=The+goal+of+life+is+%5BMASK%5D.) which is distilled for 100k training steps using a total batch size of 192 on the PubMed dataset.
# Distillation Procedure
This model uses a unique distillation method called ‘transformer-layer distillation’ which is applied on each layer of the student to align the attention maps and the hidden states of the student with those of the teacher.
# Architecture and Initialisation
This model uses 4 hidden layers with a hidden dimension size and an embedding size of 768 resulting in a total of 15M parameters. Due to the model's small hidden dimension size, it uses random initialisation.
