Fast Reading Comprehension with ConvNets
Table 2: BiDAF v.s. Conv BiDAF. EM stands for exact match score.
['Model', 'BiDAF', 'Conv BiDAF (5-17-3)']
as a function of inference GPU time. The figure shows the results across all documents (middle) and for the top 10% shortest and longest documents (left and right plot respectively). Throughout, Conv-BiDAF achieves one to two order of magnitude speed-up at inference time and performs almost as well as the original BiDAF.The plot also shows the F1-score of the R-Net model for which we have no inference timing (therefore shown as a horizontal line).
