roberta-base distilled for Extractive QA
Overview
Language model: deepset/roberta-base-squad2-distilled
Language: English
Training data: SQuAD 2.0 training set
Eval data: SQuAD 2.0 dev set
Code: See an example extractive QA pipeline built with Haystack
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.
Hyperparameters
batch_size = 80
n_epochs = 4
max_seq_len = 384
learning_rate = 3e-5
lr_schedule = LinearWarmup
embeds_dropout_prob = 0.1
temperature = 1.5
distillation_loss_weight = 0.75
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-base-squad2-distilled")
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-base-squad2-distilled"
# 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)
