# GENIUS: generating text using sketches!

You can use this model directly with a pipeline for masked language modeling:

```python
from transformers import pipeline
# 1. load the model with the huggingface `pipeline`
genius = pipeline("text2text-generation", model='beyond/genius-large', device=0)
# 2. provide a sketch (joint by <mask> tokens)
sketch = "<mask> Conference on Empirical Methods <mask> submission of research papers <mask> Deep Learning <mask>"
# 3. here we go!
generated_text = genius(sketch, num_beams=3, do_sample=True, max_length=200)[0]['generated_text']
print(generated_text)
```
