# all-MiniLM-L12-v2-qa-all
This model is an extractive qa model.
It's a fine-tuned version of [all-MiniLM-L12-v2](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L12-v2) on the following datasets: [squad_v2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/squad_v2), [LLukas22/nq-simplified](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LLukas22/nq-simplified), [newsqa](https://huggingface.co/datasets/newsqa), [LLukas22/NLQuAD](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LLukas22/NLQuAD), [deepset/germanquad](https://huggingface.co/datasets/deepset/germanquad).



## Usage

You can use the model like this:

```python
from transformers import pipeline

#Make predictions
model_name = "LLukas22/all-MiniLM-L12-v2-qa-all"
nlp = pipeline('question-answering', model=model_name, tokenizer=model_name)

QA_input = {
    "question": "What's my name?",
    "context": "My name is Clara and I live in Berkeley."
}

result = nlp(QA_input)
print(result)
```
Alternatively you can load the model and tokenizer on their own:
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer

#Make predictions
model_name = "LLukas22/all-MiniLM-L12-v2-qa-all"
model = AutoModelForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
```
