### Overview
- **Language model:** [facebook/bart-large](https://huggingface.co/facebook/bart-large)   
- **Language:** en  
- **Training data:** [lmqg/qg_squad](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmqg/qg_squad) (default)
- **Online Demo:** [https://autoqg.net/](https://autoqg.net/)
- **Repository:** [https://github.com/asahi417/lm-question-generation](https://github.com/asahi417/lm-question-generation)
- **Paper:** [https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03992](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03992)

### Usage
- With [`lmqg`](https://github.com/asahi417/lm-question-generation#lmqg-language-model-for-question-generation-)
```python

from lmqg import TransformersQG
# initialize model
model = TransformersQG(language='en', model='lmqg/bart-large-squad')

question = model.generate_q(list_context=["William Turner was an English painter who specialised in watercolour landscapes"], list_answer=["William Turner"])

```

- With `transformers`
```python

from transformers import pipeline
# initialize model
pipe = pipeline("text2text-generation", 'lmqg/bart-large-squad')
# question generation
question = pipe('<hl> Beyonce <hl> further expanded her acting career, starring as blues singer Etta James in the 2008 musical biopic, Cadillac Records.')
