| # Model Description | |
| BioDistilBERT-cased is the result of training the [DistilBERT-cased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-cased?text=The+goal+of+life+is+%5BMASK%5D.) model in a continual learning fashion for 200k training steps using a total batch size of 192 on the PubMed dataset. | |
| # Initialisation | |
| We initialise our model with the pre-trained checkpoints of the [DistilBERT-cased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-cased?text=The+goal+of+life+is+%5BMASK%5D.) model available on the Huggingface. | |
| # Architecture | |
| In this model, the size of the hidden dimension and the embedding layer are both set to 768. The vocabulary size is 28996. The number of transformer layers is 6 and the expansion rate of the feed-forward layer is 4. Overall this model has around 65 million parameters. | |
