roberta-large for Extractive QA#

This is the roberta-large model, fine-tuned using the SQuAD2.0 dataset. It's been trained on question-answer pairs, including unanswerable questions, for the task of Question Answering.

Overview#

Language model: roberta-large Language: English Downstream-task: Extractive QA Training data: SQuAD 2.0 Eval data: SQuAD 2.0 Code: See an example extractive QA pipeline built with Haystack Infrastructure: 4x Tesla v100

Hyperparameters#

base_LM_model = "roberta-large"

Using a distilled model instead#

Please note that we have also released a distilled version of this model called deepset/roberta-base-squad2-distilled. The distilled model has a comparable prediction quality and runs at twice the speed of the large model.

Usage#

In Haystack#

Haystack is an AI orchestration framework to build customizable, production-ready LLM applications. You can use this model in Haystack to do extractive question answering on documents. To load and run the model with Haystack:

# After running pip install haystack-ai "transformers[torch,sentencepiece]"

from haystack import Document
from haystack.components.readers import ExtractiveReader

docs = [
    Document(content="Python is a popular programming language"),
    Document(content="python ist eine beliebte Programmiersprache"),
]

reader = ExtractiveReader(model="deepset/roberta-large-squad2")
reader.warm_up()

question = "What is a popular programming language?"
result = reader.run(query=question, documents=docs)
# {'answers': [ExtractedAnswer(query='What is a popular programming language?', score=0.5740374326705933, data='python', document=Document(id=..., content: '...'), context=None, document_offset=ExtractedAnswer.Span(start=0, end=6),...)]}

For a complete example with an extractive question answering pipeline that scales over many documents, check out the corresponding Haystack tutorial.

In Transformers#
from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name = "deepset/roberta-large-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)
