# OmniTab
OmniTab is a table-based QA model proposed in [OmniTab: Pretraining with Natural and Synthetic Data for Few-shot Table-based Question Answering](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.03637.pdf). The original Github repository is [https://github.com/jzbjyb/OmniTab](https://github.com/jzbjyb/OmniTab).
## Description
`neulab/omnitab-large-1024shot-finetuned-wtq-1024shot` (based on BART architecture) is initialized with `neulab/omnitab-large-1024shot` and fine-tuned on [WikiTableQuestions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitablequestions) in the 1024-shot setting.
## Usage
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
import pandas as pd
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("neulab/omnitab-large-1024shot-finetuned-wtq-1024shot")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("neulab/omnitab-large-1024shot-finetuned-wtq-1024shot")
data = {
"year": [1896, 1900, 1904, 2004, 2008, 2012],
"city": ["athens", "paris", "st. louis", "athens", "beijing", "london"]
}
table = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(data)
query = "In which year did beijing host the Olympic Games?"
encoding = tokenizer(table=table, query=query, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**encoding)
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True))
# [' 2008']
```
