How long does training take?

Hi @menyifang ,

How long did it roughly take to train the pretrained model with 2 V100 GPUs? A few days or weeks? (I read your paper but it doesn't seem to be mentioned there.)

Hi @JiamingFB, it takes around one week with 2 V100 GPUs (for 1000 epochs).

Thank you very much!

Hi @menyifang ,

Are 1000 epochs necessary for the training procedure? And, have you ever tried training with fewer epoches?
