      Hugging Face has seen rapid growth in its popularity since the get-go. It
      is definitely doing the right things to attract more and more people to
      its platform, some of which are on the following lines: Community driven
      approach through large open source repositories along with paid services.
      Helps to build a network of like-minded people passionate about open
      source. Attractive price point. The subscription-based features, e.g.:
      Inference based API, starts at a price of $9/month.

Multi-lingual Question Generating Model (mt5-small)

Give the model a passage and it will generate a question about the passage.

Trained on the following datasets:

Training details

I used flax summarization script and a TPU v3-8. Summarization expects a text column and a summary column. For question generation training, use the context column instead of text column and question instead of summary column.

Limitations and Intended Use

There is no guarantee that it will produce a question in the language of the passage, but it usually does. Lower resource languages will likely have lower quality questions.

Intended use is to make questions given a passage. With a larger model this might be able to generate training data for question-answering models, but this small one does not produce high-quality questions.

Using the model

PyTorch version

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
  
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("nbroad/mt5-small-qgen")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("nbroad/mt5-small-qgen")

inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=40)

tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
