The used dataset raalst/squad_v2_dutch was kindly provided by Henryk Borzymowski.
It is a translated version of SQuAD V2. I converted it from json to jsonl format.
it contains train and validation splits, no test split. 
I declared 20% of Train to be used as Testset in my finetuning run.
That testset is what the evaluation is based on.

when using raalst/squad_v2_dutch, be sure to clean up quotes and double quotes in the contexts

The pretrained model was pdelobelle/robbert-v2-dutch-base, a dutch RoBERTa model  

results obtained in training are :

    metric = load("evaluate-metric/squad_v2" if squad_v2 else "evaluate-metric/squad")
    
    {'exact': 61.75389109958193,
     'f1': 66.89717170237417,
     'total': 19853,
     'HasAns_exact': 48.967182330322814,
     'HasAns_f1': 58.09796564493008,
     'HasAns_total': 11183,
     'NoAns_exact': 78.24682814302192,
     'NoAns_f1': 78.24682814302192,
     'NoAns_total': 8670,
     'best_exact': 61.75389109958193,
     'best_exact_thresh': 0.0,
     'best_f1': 66.89717170237276,
     'best_f1_thresh': 0.0}

This seems mediocre to me.
