roberta-base for QA

This is the roberta-base model, fine-tuned using the SQuAD2.0 dataset. It's been trained on question-answer pairs, including unanswerable questions, for the task of Question Answering.

Overview

Language model: roberta-base
Language: English
Downstream-task: Extractive QA
Training data: SQuAD 2.0
Eval data: SQuAD 2.0
Code: See an example QA pipeline on Haystack
Infrastructure: 4x Tesla v100

Hyperparameters

batch_size = 96
n_epochs = 2
base_LM_model = "roberta-base"
max_seq_len = 386
learning_rate = 3e-5
lr_schedule = LinearWarmup
warmup_proportion = 0.2
doc_stride=128
max_query_length=64

Using a distilled model instead

Please note that we have also released a distilled version of this model called deepset/tinyroberta-squad2. The distilled model has a comparable prediction quality and runs at twice the speed of the base model.

Usage

In Haystack

Haystack is an NLP framework by deepset. You can use this model in a Haystack pipeline to do question answering at scale (over many documents). To load the model in Haystack:

reader = FARMReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/roberta-base-squad2")
# or 
reader = TransformersReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/roberta-base-squad2",tokenizer="deepset/roberta-base-squad2")

For a complete example of roberta-base-squad2 being used for Question Answering, check out the Tutorials in Haystack Documentation

In Transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name = "deepset/roberta-base-squad2"

# 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)

Performance

Evaluated on the SQuAD 2.0 dev set with the official eval script.
