# deepset/xlm-roberta-base-squad2-distilled
- haystack's distillation feature was used for training. deepset/xlm-roberta-large-squad2 was used as the teacher model.
## Overview
**Language model:** deepset/xlm-roberta-base-squad2-distilled
**Language:** Multilingual
**Downstream-task:** Extractive QA
**Training data:** SQuAD 2.0
**Eval data:** SQuAD 2.0
**Code:** See [an example QA pipeline on Haystack](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/first-qa-system)
**Infrastructure**: 1x Tesla v100
## Hyperparameters
```
batch_size = 56
n_epochs = 4
max_seq_len = 384
learning_rate = 3e-5
lr_schedule = LinearWarmup
embeds_dropout_prob = 0.1
temperature = 3
distillation_loss_weight = 0.75
```
## Usage
### In Haystack
Haystack is an NLP framework by deepset. You can use this model in a Haystack pipeline to do question answering at scale (over many documents). To load the model in [Haystack](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/):
```python
reader = FARMReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/xlm-roberta-base-squad2-distilled")
# or
reader = TransformersReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/xlm-roberta-base-squad2-distilled",tokenizer="deepset/xlm-roberta-base-squad2-distilled")
```
For a complete example of ``deepset/xlm-roberta-base-squad2-distilled`` being used for [question answering], check out the [Tutorials in Haystack Documentation](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/first-qa-system)
### In Transformers
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
model_name = "deepset/xlm-roberta-base-squad2-distilled"
# 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)
```
