Introduction

The question encoder model based on DPRQuestionEncoder architecture. It uses the transformer's pooler outputs as question representations.

Training

We trained vblagoje/dpr-question_encoder-single-lfqa-base using FAIR's dpr-scale starting with PAQ based pretrained checkpoint and fine-tuned the retriever on the question-answer pairs from the LFQA dataset. As dpr-scale requires DPR formatted training set input with positive, negative, and hard negative samples - we created a training file with an answer being positive, negatives being question unrelated answers, while hard negative samples were chosen from answers on questions between 0.55 and 0.65 of cosine similarity.

Performance

LFQA DPR-based retriever (vblagoje/dpr-question_encoder-single-lfqa-base and vblagoje/dpr-ctx_encoder-single-lfqa-base) had a score of 6.69 for R-precision and 14.5 for Recall@5 on KILT benchmark.

Usage

from transformers import DPRContextEncoder, DPRContextEncoderTokenizer

model = DPRQuestionEncoder.from_pretrained("vblagoje/dpr-question_encoder-single-lfqa-base").to(device)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("vblagoje/dpr-question_encoder-single-lfqa-base")

input_ids = tokenizer("Why do airplanes leave contrails in the sky?", return_tensors="pt")["input_ids"]
embeddings = model(input_ids).pooler_output

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
