Model description
This is a DeBERTa [1] model for the Italian language, fine-tuned for Extractive Question Answering on the SQuAD-IT dataset [2], using DeBERTa-ITALIAN (deberta-base-italian) as a pre-trained model.
Training and Performances
The model is trained to perform question answering, given a context and a question (under the assumption that the context contains the answer to the question). It has been fine-tuned for Extractive Question Answering, using the SQuAD-IT dataset, for 2 epochs with a linearly decaying learning rate starting from 3e-5, maximum sequence length of 384 and document stride of 128.
The dataset includes 54.159 training instances and 7.609 test instances
The performances on the test set are reported in the following table:
| EM | F1 |
|---|---|
| 68.80 | 80.08 |

Quick usage
In order to get the best possible outputs from the model, it is recommended to use the following pipeline
from transformers import DebertaV2TokenizerFast, DebertaV2ForQuestionAnswering
import re
import string
from transformers.pipelines import QuestionAnsweringPipeline
tokenizer = DebertaV2TokenizerFast.from_pretrained("osiria/deberta-italian-question-answering")
model = DebertaV2ForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained("osiria/deberta-italian-question-answering")
class osiria_qa(QuestionAnsweringPipeline):
def __init__(self, punctuation = ',;.:!?()[\]{}', **kwargs):
QuestionAnsweringPipeline.__init__(self, **kwargs)
self.post_regex_left = "^[\s" + punctuation + "]+"
self.post_regex_right = "[\s" + punctuation + "]+$"
def postprocess(self, output):
output = QuestionAnsweringPipeline.postprocess(self, model_outputs=output)
output_length = len(output["answer"])
output["answer"] = re.sub(self.post_regex_left, "", output["answer"])
output["start"] = output["start"] + (output_length - len(output["answer"]))
output_length = len(output["answer"])
output["answer"] = re.sub(self.post_regex_right, "", output["answer"])
output["end"] = output["end"] - (output_length - len(output["answer"]))
return output
pipeline_qa = osiria_qa(model = model, tokenizer = tokenizer)
pipeline_qa(context = "Alessandro Manzoni è nato a Milano nel 1785",
question = "Dove è nato Manzoni?")
# {'score': 0.9892834424972534, 'start': 28, 'end': 34, 'answer': 'Milano'}

Limitations
This model was trained SQuAD-IT which is mainly a machine translated version of the original SQuAD v1.1. This means that the quality of the training set is limited by the machine translation. Moreover, the model is meant to answer questions under the assumption that the required information is actually contained in the given context (which is the underlying assumption of SQuAD v1.1). If the assumption is violated, the model will try to return an answer in any case, which is going to be incorrect.
