Researchers have developed a new, lightweight framework for Bangla medical entity recognition designed for resource-constrained environments. The system utilizes a hybrid Transformer-CRF architecture, starting with a 12-layer BanglaBERT model and a Conditional Random Field layer. To optimize for deployment, this model is compressed into a 4-layer student network via Knowledge Distillation and further reduced with INT8 dynamic quantization, resulting in an 8.6x CPU speedup and nearly 48% less storage.
