- `jiant` contains implementations of strong baselines for the [GLUE](https://gluebenchmark.com) and [SuperGLUE](https://super.gluebenchmark.com/) benchmarks, and it's the recommended starting point for work on these benchmarks.
- `jiant` was developed at [the 2018 JSALT Workshop](https://www.clsp.jhu.edu/workshops/18-workshop/) by [the General-Purpose Sentence Representation Learning](https://jsalt18-sentence-repl.github.io/) team and is maintained by [the NYU Machine Learning for Language Lab](https://wp.nyu.edu/ml2/people/), with help from [many outside collaborators](https://github.com/nyu-mll/jiant/graphs/contributors) (especially Google AI Language's [Ian Tenney](https://ai.google/research/people/IanTenney)).
- `jiant` is built on [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org). It also uses many components from [AllenNLP](https://github.com/allenai/allennlp) and the HuggingFace Transformers [implementations](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) for GPT, BERT and other transformer models.
-- The name `jiant` doesn't mean much. The 'j' stands for JSALT. That's all the acronym we have.
