+## Using Mixed-Precision Training
+
+You may add `--fp16 1` to start train using mixed precisioin training, which the training process will use float16 and the output model ("master" parameters) is saved as float32. You also may need to pass `--scale_loss` to overcome accuracy issues, usually `--scale_loss 8.0` will do.
+
+Note that currently `--fp16` can not use together with `--with_mem_opt`, so pass `--with_mem_opt 0` to disable memory optimization pass.

 ## Finetuning
 
 Finetuning is to finetune model weights in a specific task by loading pretrained weights. After initializing ```path_to_pretrain_model```, one can finetune a model as:

+## 混合精度训练
+
+可以通过开启`--fp16 1`启动混合精度训练，这样训练过程会使用float16数据，并输出float32的模型参数（"master"参数）。您可能需要同时传入`--scale_loss`来解决fp16训练的精度问题，通常传入`--scale_loss 8.0`即可。
+
+注意，目前混合精度训练不能和内存优化功能同时使用，所以需要传`--with_mem_opt 0`这个参数来禁用内存优化功能。
