Model description

glm-roberta-large is pretrained on the RoBERTa dataset. It has 24 transformer layers, with hidden size 1024 and 16 attention heads in each layer. The model is pretrained with autoregressive blank filling objectives designed for natural language understanding, seq2seq, and language modeling. Find more details from our repo .

How to use

Please refer the instruction in our Github repo.

glm-roberta-large only supports [MASK] for short blank filling. The prediction always begin with a special <|startofpiece|> token and ends with a <|endofpiece|> token.
