# MVP-question-answering
The MVP-question-answering model was proposed in [**MVP: Multi-task Supervised Pre-training for Natural Language Generation**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.12131) by Tianyi Tang, Junyi Li, Wayne Xin Zhao and Ji-Rong Wen.

The detailed information and instructions can be found [https://github.com/RUCAIBox/MVP](https://github.com/RUCAIBox/MVP).

## Model Description
MVP-question-answering is a prompt-based model that MVP is further equipped with prompts pre-trained using labeled question answering datasets. It is a variant (MVP+S) of our [MVP](https://huggingface.co/RUCAIBox/mvp) [MVP](https://huggingface.co/RUCAIBox/mvp) model. It follows a Transformer encoder-decoder architecture with layer-wise prompts.

MVP-question-answering is specially designed for question answering tasks, such as reading comprehension (SQuAD), conversational question answering (CoQA) and closed-book question-answering (Natural Questions).

## Example
```python
>>> from transformers import MvpTokenizer, MvpForConditionalGeneration

>>> tokenizer = MvpTokenizer.from_pretrained("RUCAIBox/mvp")
>>> model = MvpForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("RUCAIBox/mvp-question-answering")

>>> inputs = tokenizer(
...     "Answer the following question: From which country did Angola achieve independence in 1975?",
...     return_tensors="pt",
... )
>>> generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs)
>>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
['Portugal']
```
