# Model Card of `lmqg/mt5-small-dequad-multitask`
This model is fine-tuned version of [google/mt5-small](https://huggingface.co/google/mt5-small) for question generation task on the 
[lmqg/qg_dequad](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmqg/qg_dequad) (dataset_name: default) via [`lmqg`](https://github.com/asahi417/lm-question-generation).
This model is fine-tuned on the answer extraction task as well as the question generation.

Please cite our paper if you use the model ([https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03992](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03992)).

### Overview
- **Language model:** [google/mt5-small](https://huggingface.co/google/mt5-small)   
- **Language:** en  
- **Training data:** [lmqg/qg_dequad](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmqg/qg_dequad) (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/mt5-small-dequad-multitask')
# model prediction
question_answer = model.generate_qa("William Turner was an English painter who specialised in watercolour landscapes")

```

- With `transformers`
```python

from transformers import pipeline
# initialize model
pipe = pipeline("text2text-generation", 'lmqg/mt5-small-dequad-multitask')
# answer extraction
answer = pipe('extract answers: <hl> Beyonce further expanded her acting career, starring as blues singer Etta James in the 2008 musical biopic, Cadillac Records. <hl> Her performance in the film received praise from critics, and she garnered several nominations for her portrayal of James, including a Satellite Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and a NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress.')
# question generation
question = pipe('generate question: <hl> Beyonce <hl> further expanded her acting career, starring as blues singer Etta James in the 2008 musical biopic, Cadillac Records.')

```
