Usage
For best results use the AraBert preprocessor by aub-mind
from transformers import ElectraForQuestionAnswering, ElectraForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
from preprocess import ArabertPreprocessor
prep_object = ArabertPreprocessor("araelectra-base-discriminator")
question = prep_object('ما هي جامعة الدول العربية ؟')
context = prep_object('''
جامعة الدول العربية هيمنظمة إقليمية تضم دولاً عربية في آسيا وأفريقيا.
ينص ميثاقها على التنسيق بين الدول الأعضاء في الشؤون الاقتصادية، ومن ضمنها العلاقات التجارية الاتصالات، العلاقات الثقافية، الجنسيات ووثائق وأذونات السفر والعلاقات الاجتماعية والصحة. المقر الدائم لجامعة الدول العربية يقع في القاهرة، عاصمة مصر (تونس من 1979 إلى 1990).

# a) Get predictions
qa_modelname = 'ZeyadAhmed/AraElectra-Arabic-SQuADv2-QA'
cls_modelname = 'ZeyadAhmed/AraElectra-Arabic-SQuADv2-CLS'
qa_pipe = pipeline('question-answering', model=qa_modelname, tokenizer=qa_modelname)

CLS_input = {
'text': question,

qa_res = qa_pipe(QA_input)
cls_res = cls_pipe(CLS_iput)
threshold = 0.5 #hyperparameter can be tweaked
## note classification results label0 probability it can be answered label1 probability can't be answered
## if label1 probability > threshold then consider the output of qa_res is empty string else take the qa_res
# b) Load model & tokenizer
qa_model = ElectraForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained(qa_modelname)
cls_model = ElectraForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(cls_modelname)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(qa_modelname)
Performance
Evaluated on the Arabic-SQuAD 2.0 test set with the official eval script except changing in the preprocessing a little to fit the arabic language the modified eval script.
