# Model description

An XLM-RoBERTa reading comprehension model with joint training for TyDi, NQ, and List Question Answering (NQ list data) using a fine-tuned [SQuAD xlm-roberta-large](https://huggingface.co/PrimeQA/squad-v1-xlm-roberta-large) model 

## Intended uses & limitations

You can use the raw model for the reading comprehension task. Biases associated with the pre-existing language model, xlm-roberta-large, that we used may be present in our fine-tuned model, joint-tydi-nq-list-task-xlm-roberta-large.

## Usage

You can use this model directly with the [PrimeQA](https://github.com/primeqa/primeqa) pipeline for reading comprehension [listqa.ipynb](https://github.com/primeqa/primeqa/blob/main/notebooks/mrc/listqa.ipynb).
