# deberta-v3-base for QA 

This is the [deberta-v3-base](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/deberta-v3-base) model, fine-tuned using the [SQuAD2.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/squad_v2) dataset. It's been trained on question-answer pairs, including unanswerable questions, for the task of Question Answering. 


## Overview
**Language model:** deberta-v3-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](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/first-qa-system)  
**Infrastructure**: 1x NVIDIA A10G

## Hyperparameters

```
batch_size = 12
n_epochs = 4
base_LM_model = "deberta-v3-base"
max_seq_len = 512
learning_rate = 2e-5
lr_schedule = LinearWarmup
warmup_proportion = 0.2
doc_stride = 128
max_query_length = 64
``` 

## 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](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/):
```python
reader = FARMReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/deberta-v3-base-squad2")
# or 
reader = TransformersReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/deberta-v3-base-squad2",tokenizer="deepset/deberta-v3-base-squad2")
```

### In Transformers
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
model_name = "deepset/deberta-v3-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)
```
