# ONNX convert roberta-base for QA
## Conversion of [deepset/roberta-base-squad2](https://huggingface.co/deepset/roberta-base-squad2)
NOTE: This is version 2 of the model. See [this github issue](https://github.com/deepset-ai/FARM/issues/552) from the FARM repository for an explanation of why we updated. If you'd like to use version 1, specify `revision="v1.0"` when loading the model in Transformers 3.5. For exmaple:
```
model_name = "deepset/roberta-base-squad2"
pipeline(model=model_name, tokenizer=model_name, revision="v1.0", task="question-answering")
```
## Overview
**Language model:** roberta-base
**Language:** English
**Downstream-task:** Extractive QA
**Training data:** SQuAD 2.0
**Eval data:** SQuAD 2.0
**Code:** See [example](https://github.com/deepset-ai/FARM/blob/master/examples/question_answering.py) in [FARM](https://github.com/deepset-ai/FARM/blob/master/examples/question_answering.py)
**Infrastructure**: 4x Tesla v100
## Hyperparameters
```
batch_size = 96
n_epochs = 2
base_LM_model = "roberta-base"
max_seq_len = 386
learning_rate = 3e-5
lr_schedule = LinearWarmup
warmup_proportion = 0.2
doc_stride=128
max_query_length=64
```
## Using a distilled model instead
Please note that we have also released a distilled version of this model called [deepset/tinyroberta-squad2](https://huggingface.co/deepset/tinyroberta-squad2). The distilled model has a comparable prediction quality and runs at twice the speed of the base model.
## Performance
Evaluated on the SQuAD 2.0 dev set with the [official eval script](https://worksheets.codalab.org/rest/bundles/0x6b567e1cf2e041ec80d7098f031c5c9e/contents/blob/).

## Usage
### In Transformers
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
model_name = "deepset/roberta-base-squad2"
# a) Get predictions
nlp = pipeline('question-answering', model=model_name, tokenizer=model_name)
QA_input = {
'question': 'Why is model conversion important?',
'context': 'The option to convert models between FARM and transformers gives freedom to the user and let people easily switch between frameworks.'
}
res = nlp(QA_input)
# b) Load model & tokenizer
model = AutoModelForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
```
### In FARM
```python
from farm.modeling.adaptive_model import AdaptiveModel
from farm.modeling.tokenization import Tokenizer
from farm.infer import Inferencer
model_name = "deepset/roberta-base-squad2"
# a) Get predictions
nlp = Inferencer.load(model_name, task_type="question_answering")
QA_input = [{"questions": ["Why is model conversion important?"],
"text": "The option to convert models between FARM and transformers gives freedom to the user and let people easily switch between frameworks."}]
res = nlp.inference_from_dicts(dicts=QA_input, rest_api_schema=True)
# b) Load model & tokenizer
model = AdaptiveModel.convert_from_transformers(model_name, device="cpu", task_type="question_answering")
tokenizer = Tokenizer.load(model_name)
```
### In haystack
For doing QA at scale (i.e. many docs instead of single paragraph), you can load the model also in [haystack](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/):
```python
reader = FARMReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/roberta-base-squad2")
# or
reader = TransformersReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/roberta-base-squad2",tokenizer="deepset/roberta-base-squad2")
```
