# Adapter `AdapterHub/m2qa-xlm-roberta-base-mad-x-domain-qa-head` for xlm-roberta-base

An [adapter](https://adapterhub.ml) for the `xlm-roberta-base` model that was trained on the [UKPLab/m2qa](https://huggingface.co/datasets/UKPLab/m2qa/) dataset and includes a prediction head for question answering.

This adapter was created for usage with the **[adapter-transformers](https://github.com/Adapter-Hub/adapter-transformers)** library.

## Usage

First, install `adapter-transformers`:

```
pip install -U adapter-transformers
```
_Note: adapter-transformers is a fork of transformers that acts as a drop-in replacement with adapter support. [More](https://docs.adapterhub.ml/installation.html)_

Now, the adapter can be loaded and activated like this:

```python
from transformers import AutoAdapterModel

model = AutoAdapterModel.from_pretrained("xlm-roberta-base")
adapter_name = model.load_adapter("AdapterHub/m2qa-xlm-roberta-base-mad-x-domain-qa-head", source="hf", set_active=True)
```
