Usage

In Haystack

For doing QA at scale (i.e. many docs instead of single paragraph), you can load the model also in Haystack:

reader = FARMReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/minilm-uncased-squad2")
# or
reader = TransformersReader(model="deepset/minilm-uncased-squad2",tokenizer="deepset/minilm-uncased-squad2")

In Transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering,  AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name = "deepset/minilm-uncased-squad2"

# a) Get predictions
nlp = pipeline('question-answering', model=model_name, tokenizer=model_name)
QA_input = {
    'question': 'Why is model conversion important?',
    'context': 'The option to convert models between FARM and transformers gives freedom to the user and let people easily switch between frameworks.'
}
res = nlp(QA_input)

# b) Load model & tokenizer
model = AutoModelForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
