Analyzing Bagging Methods for Language Models
Modern language models leverage increasingly large numbers of parameters to achieve performance on natural language understanding tasks. Ensembling these models in specific configurations for downstream tasks show even further performance improvements. In this paper, we perform an analysis of bagging language models and compare single language models to bagged ensembles that are roughly equivalent in terms of final model size. We explore an array of model bagging configurations for natural language understanding tasks with final ensemble sizes ranging from 300M parameters to 1.5B parameters and determine that our ensembling methods are at best roughly equivalent to single LM baselines. We note other positive effects of bagging and pruning in specific scenarios according to findings in our experiments such as variance reduction and minor performance improvements.
