 DistilBERT
 ----------------------------------------------------
 
-DistilBERT is a small, fast, cheap and light Transformer model
-trained by distilling Bert base. It has 40% less parameters than
-`bert-base-uncased`, runs 60% faster while preserving over 95% of
-Bert's performances as measured on the GLUE language understanding benchmark.
+The DistilBERT model was proposed in the blog post
+`Smaller, faster, cheaper, lighter: Introducing DistilBERT, a distilled version of BERT <https://medium.com/huggingface/distilbert-8cf3380435b5>`__,
+and the paper `DistilBERT, a distilled version of BERT: smaller, faster, cheaper and lighter <https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.01108>`__.

+The abstract from the paper is the following:
+
+*As Transfer Learning from large-scale pre-trained models becomes more prevalent in Natural Language Processing (NLP),
+operating these large models in on-the-edge and/or under constrained computational training or inference budgets
+remains challenging. In this work, we propose a method to pre-train a smaller general-purpose language representation
+model, called DistilBERT, which can then be fine-tuned with good performances on a wide range of tasks like its larger
+counterparts. While most prior work investigated the use of distillation for building task-specific models, we
+leverage knowledge distillation during the pre-training phase and show that it is possible to reduce the size of a
+BERT model by 40%, while retaining 97% of its language understanding capabilities and being 60% faster. To leverage
+the inductive biases learned by larger models during pre-training, we introduce a triple loss combining language
+modeling, distillation and cosine-distance losses. Our smaller, faster and lighter model is cheaper to pre-train
+and we demonstrate its capabilities for on-device computations in a proof-of-concept experiment and a comparative
+on-device study.*

+Tips:
 
 - DistilBert doesn't have `token_type_ids`, you don't need to indicate which token belongs to which segment. Just separate your segments with the separation token `tokenizer.sep_token` (or `[SEP]`)
 - DistilBert doesn't have options to select the input positions (`position_ids` input). This could be added if necessary though, just let's us know if you need this option.
