t5-qg_webnlg_synth-en

Model description

This model is a Data Question Generation model based on T5-small, that generates questions, given a structured table as input and the conditioned answer. It is actually a component of QuestEval metric but can be used independently as it is, for QG only.

How to use

from transformers import T5Tokenizer, T5ForConditionalGeneration

tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained("ThomasNLG/t5-qg_webnlg_synth-en")

model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("ThomasNLG/t5-qg_webnlg_synth-en")

You can play with the model using the inference API, the text input format should follow this template (accordingly to the training stage of the model):

text_input = "{ANSWER} </s> {CONTEXT}"

where `CONTEXT is a structured table that is linearised this way:

CONTEXT = "name [ The Eagle ] , eatType [ coffee shop ] , food [ French ] , priceRange [ £ 2 0 - 2 5 ]"

Training data

The model was trained on synthetic data as described in Data-QuestEval: A Referenceless Metric for Data to Text Semantic Evaluation.
