# roberta-base-squad2

This model is a fine-tuned version of [roberta-base](https://huggingface.co/roberta-base) on the squad_v2 dataset.

## Training and evaluation data

Trained and evaluated on the [squad_v2 dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/squad_v2).

## Training procedure

Trained on 16 Graphcore Mk2 IPUs using [optimum-graphcore](https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-graphcore).
