# t5 - base- askscience
- [t5-v1_1](https://huggingface.co/google/t5-v1_1-base) trained on the entirety of the _askscience_ sub-section of the eli5 dataset for one epoch.
- compare to bart on eli5 [here](https://huggingface.co/yjernite/bart_eli5)
- note that for the inference API, the model is restricted to outputting 96 tokens - by using the model in python with the transformers library, you can get longer outputs.
## training
- for inputs, the model was presented with the post title and the post selftext encoded as: `question: <post title> context: <post selftext>`. You may see better results if queries are posed in this fashion.
- The top two replies were aggregated and presented to the model as the output text.
- Training for longer will be explored, but given that the dataset has 127k examples and the loss flatlines at 0.5 epochs so this model should be fairly viable.
