M2QA Adapter: QA Head for MAD-X+Domain Setup

This adapter is part of the M2QA publication to achieve language and domain transfer via adapters.
📃 Paper: https://aclanthology.org/2024.findings-emnlp.365/
🏗️ GitHub repo: https://github.com/UKPLab/m2qa
💾 Hugging Face Dataset: https://huggingface.co/UKPLab/m2qa

Important: This adapter only works together with the MAD-X language adapters and the M2QA MAD-X-Domain adapters. This QA adapter was trained on the SQuAD v2 dataset.

This adapter for the xlm-roberta-base model that was trained using the Adapters library. For detailed training details see our paper or GitHub repository: https://github.com/UKPLab/m2qa. You can find the evaluation results for this adapter on the M2QA dataset in the GitHub repo and in the paper.

Usage

First, install adapters:

pip install -U adapters

Now, the adapter can be loaded and activated like this:

from adapters import AutoAdapterModel
from adapters.composition import Stack

model = AutoAdapterModel.from_pretrained("xlm-roberta-base")

# 1. Load language adapter
language_adapter_name = model.load_adapter("de/wiki@ukp") # MAD-X+Domain uses the MAD-X language adapter

# 2. Load domain adapter
domain_adapter_name = model.load_adapter("AdapterHub/m2qa-xlm-roberta-base-mad-x-domain-news")

# 3. Load QA head adapter
qa_adapter_name = model.load_adapter("AdapterHub/m2qa-xlm-roberta-base-mad-x-domain-qa-head")

# 4. Activate them via the adapter stack
model.active_adapters = Stack(language_adapter_name, domain_adapter_name, qa_adapter_name)
