ELECTRA is a transformer with a new pre-training approach which trains two transformer models: the generator and the discriminator. The generator replaces tokens in the sequence - trained as a masked language model - and the discriminator (the ELECTRA contribution) attempts to identify which tokens are replaced by the generator in the sequence. This pre-training task is called replaced token detection, and is a replacement for masking the input.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (118 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
