bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-squad2

This is a berta-large model, fine-tuned using the SQuAD2.0 dataset for the task of question answering.

Overview

Language model: bert-large
Language: English
Downstream-task: Extractive QA
Training data: SQuAD 2.0
Eval data: SQuAD 2.0
Code: See an example QA pipeline on Haystack

Usage

In Haystack

Haystack is an NLP framework by deepset. You can use this model in a Haystack pipeline to do question answering at scale (over many documents). To load the model in Haystack :

reader = FARMReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-squad2")
# or 
reader = TransformersReader(model_name_or_path="FILL",tokenizer="deepset/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-squad2")

In Transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name = "deepset/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-squad2"

# a) Get predictions
nlp = pipeline('question-answering', model=model_name, tokenizer=model_name)
QA_input = {
    'question': 'Why is model conversion important?',
    'context': 'The option to convert models between FARM and transformers gives freedom to the user and let people easily switch between frameworks.'
}
res = nlp(QA_input)

# b) Load model & tokenizer
model = AutoModelForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
