## Model description

mT5-base query generation model that is trained with XOR QA data.

Used in paper [Bridging the Gap Between Indexing and Retrieval for
Differentiable Search Index with Query Generation](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.10128.pdf)

and [Augmenting Passage Representations with Query Generation
for Enhanced Cross-Lingual Dense Retrieval](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.03950.pdf)

### How to use
```python
from transformers import pipeline

lang2mT5 = dict(
    ar='Arabic',
    bn='Bengali',
    fi='Finnish',
    ja='Japanese',
    ko='Korean',
    ru='Russian',
    te='Telugu'
)
PROMPT = 'Generate a {lang} question for this passage: {title} {passage}'

title = 'Transformer (machine learning model)'
passage = 'A transformer is a deep learning model that adopts the mechanism of self-attention, differentially ' \
          'weighting the significance of each part of the input (which includes the recursive output) data.'


model_name_or_path = 'ielabgroup/xor-tydi-docTquery-mt5-base'
input_text = PROMPT.format_map({'lang': lang2mT5['ja'],
                                'title': title,
                                'passage': passage})

generator = pipeline(model=model_name_or_path,
                     task='text2text-generation',
                     device="cuda:0",
                     )

results = generator(input_text,
                    do_sample=True,
                    max_length=64,
                    num_return_sequences=10,
                    )

for i, result in enumerate(results):
    print(f'{i + 1}. {result["generated_text"]}')
