  - text: ¿Por qué provincias pasa el Tajo?
    context: >-
      El Tajo es el río más largo de la península ibérica, a la que atraviesa en
      su parte central, siguiendo un rumbo este-oeste, con una leve inclinación
      hacia el suroeste, que se acentúa cuando llega a Portugal, donde recibe el
      nombre de Tejo.

      Nace en los montes Universales, en la sierra de Albarracín, sobre la rama
      occidental del sistema Ibérico y, después de recorrer 1007 km, llega al
      océano Atlántico en la ciudad de Lisboa. En su desembocadura forma el
      estuario del mar de la Paja, en el que vierte un caudal medio de 456 m³/s.
      En sus primeros 816 km atraviesa España, donde discurre por cuatro
      comunidades autónomas (Aragón, Castilla-La Mancha, Madrid y Extremadura) y
      un total de seis provincias (Teruel, Guadalajara, Cuenca, Madrid, Toledo y
      Cáceres).

ixambert-base-cased finetuned for QA

This is a basic implementation of the multilingual model "ixambert-base-cased", fine-tuned on an experimental version of SQuAD1.1 in Basque (1/3 size of original SQuAD1.1), that is able to answer basic factual questions.

Overview

Language model: ixambert-base-cased
Languages: English, Spanish and Basque
Downstream task: Extractive QA
Training data: Experimental SQuAD1.1 in Basque
Eval data: Experimental SQuAD1.1 in Basque
Infrastructure: 1x GeForce RTX 2080

Outputs

The model outputs the answer to the question, the start and end positions of the answer in the original context, and a score for the probability for that span of text to be the correct answer. For example:

{'score': 0.9667195081710815, 'start': 101, 'end': 105, 'answer': '1820'}

How to use

from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name = "MarcBrun/ixambert-finetuned-squad-eu"

# To get predictions
context = "Florence Nightingale, known for being the founder of modern nursing, was born in Florence, Italy, in 1820"
question = "When was Florence Nightingale born?"
qa = pipeline("question-answering", model=model_name, tokenizer=model_name)
pred = qa(question=question,context=context)

# To load the model and tokenizer
model = AutoModelForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
