IT5 Cased Small Efficient EL32 for Question Answering ⁉️ 🇮🇹

Shout-out to Stefan Schweter for contributing the pre-trained efficient model!

This repository contains the checkpoint for the IT5 Cased Small Efficient EL32 model fine-tuned on extractive question answering on the SQuAD-IT corpus as part of the experiments of the paper IT5: Large-scale Text-to-text Pretraining for Italian Language Understanding and Generation by Gabriele Sarti and Malvina Nissim.

A comprehensive overview of other released materials is provided in the gsarti/it5 repository. Refer to the paper for additional details concerning the reported scores and the evaluation approach.

Using the model

Model checkpoints are available for usage in Tensorflow, Pytorch and JAX. They can be used directly with pipelines as:

from transformers import pipelines

qa = pipeline("text2text-generation", model='it5/it5-efficient-small-el32-question-answering')
qa("In seguito all' evento di estinzione del Cretaceo-Paleogene, l' estinzione dei dinosauri e il clima umido possono aver permesso alla foresta pluviale tropicale di diffondersi in tutto il continente. Dal 66-34 Mya, la foresta pluviale si estendeva fino a sud fino a 45°. Le fluttuazioni climatiche degli ultimi 34 milioni di anni hanno permesso alle regioni della savana di espandersi fino ai tropici. Durante l' Oligocene, ad esempio, la foresta pluviale ha attraversato una banda relativamente stretta. Si espandeva di nuovo durante il Miocene medio, poi si ritrasse ad una formazione prevalentemente interna all' ultimo massimo glaciale. Tuttavia, la foresta pluviale è riuscita ancora a prosperare durante questi periodi glaciali, consentendo la sopravvivenza e l' evoluzione di un' ampia varietà di specie. Domanda: La foresta pluviale amazzonica è diventata per lo più una foresta interna intorno a quale evento globale?")

or loaded using autoclasses:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("it5/it5-efficient-small-el32-question-answering")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("it5/it5-efficient-small-el32-question-answering")

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
