Distiled-roberta-squad2

This is the distilled version of the roberta-base-squad2-QA model. This model has a comparable prediction quality and runs at twice the speed of the base model.

Distillation

This model was distilled using the TinyBERT approach.Firstly, we have performed intermediate layer distillation with roberta-base as the teacher which resulted in Distiles-roberta. Secondly, we have performed task-specific distillation with roberta-base-squad2 as the teacher for further intermediate layer distillation on an augmented version of SQuADv2 and then with roberta-large-squad2 as the teacher for prediction layer distillation.

Usage

In Transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name = "Shobhank-iiitdwd/Distiled-roberta-squad2-QA"

# 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.
