# What's this? |
|
|
|
This is one of the models reported in the paper: ["Teaching Broad Reasoning Skills for Multi-Step QA by Generating Hard Contexts".](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.12496). |
|
|
|
This paper proposes a procedure to synthetically generate a QA dataset, TeaBReaC, for pretraining language models for robust multi-step reasoning. Pretraining plain LMs like Bart, T5 and numerate LMs like NT5, PReasM, POET on TeaBReaC leads to improvemed downstream performance on several multi-step QA datasets. Please checkout out the paper for the details. |
|
|
|
We release the following models: |
|
|
|
- **A:** Base Models finetuned on target datasets: `{base_model}-{target_dataset}` |
|
- **B:** Base models pretrained on TeaBReaC: `teabreac-{base_model}` |
|
- **C:** Base models pretrained on TeaBReaC and then finetuned on target datasets: `teabreac-{base_model}-{target_dataset}` |
|
|
|
The `base_model` above can be from: `bart-large`, `t5-large`, `t5-3b`, `nt5-small`, `preasm-large`. |
|
The `target_dataset` above can be from: `drop`, `tatqa`, `iirc-gold`, `iirc-retrieved`, `numglue`. |
|
|
|
The **A** models are only released for completeness / reproducibility. In your end application you probably just want to use either **B** or **C**. |

# How to use it? |
|
|
|
Please checkout the details in our [github repository](https://github.com/stonybrooknlp/teabreac), but in a nutshell: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM |
|
from digit_tokenization import enable_digit_tokenization # digit_tokenization.py from https://github.com/stonybrooknlp/teabreac |
|
|
|
model_name = "StonyBrookNLP/teabreac-preasm-large-tatqa" |
|
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, use_fast=False) # Fast doesn't work with digit tokenization |
|
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_name) |
|
enable_digit_tokenization(tokenizer) |
|
input_texts = [ |
|
"Who scored the first touchdown of the game?\n" + |
|
"... Oakland would get the early lead in the first quarter as quarterback JaMarcus Russell completed a 20-yard touchdown pass to rookie wide receiver Chaz Schilens..." |
|
# Note: some models have slightly different qn/ctxt format. See the github repo. |
|
] |
|
input_ids = tokenizer( |
|
input_texts, return_tensors="pt", |
|
truncation=True, max_length=800, |
|
add_special_tokens=True, padding=True, |
|
)["input_ids"] |
|
generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids, min_length=1, max_length=50) |
|
generated_predictions = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=False) |
|
generated_predictions = [ |
|
tokenizer.fix_decoded_text(generated_prediction) for generated_prediction in generated_predictions |
|
] |
|
# => ["Chaz Schilens"] |
|
``` |
