## Overview
**Language model:** deepset/roberta-base-squad2-distilled   
**Language:** German  
**Training data:** GermanQuAD train set (~ 12MB)  
**Eval data:** GermanQuAD test set (~ 5MB)   
**Infrastructure**: 4x V100 GPU  
**Published**: Dec 8th, 2021

## Details
- haystack's distillation feature was used for training. deepset/roberta-large-squad2 was used as the teacher model.
