# Language Models Fine-tuning on Question Generation: `lmqg/bart-base-squad-no-answer`
This model is fine-tuned version of [facebook/bart-base](https://huggingface.co/facebook/bart-base) for question generation task on the 
[lmqg/qg_squad](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmqg/qg_squad) (dataset_name: default).
This model is fine-tuned without answer information, i.e. generate a question only given a paragraph (note that normal model is fine-tuned to generate a question given a pargraph and an associated answer in the paragraph).

### Overview
- **Language model:** [facebook/bart-base](https://huggingface.co/facebook/bart-base)   
- **Language:** en  
- **Training data:** [lmqg/qg_squad](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmqg/qg_squad) (default)
- **Online Demo:** [https://autoqg.net/](https://autoqg.net/)
- **Repository:** [https://github.com/asahi417/lm-question-generation](https://github.com/asahi417/lm-question-generation)
- **Paper:** [TBA](TBA)

### Usage
```python

from transformers import pipeline

model_path = 'lmqg/bart-base-squad-no-answer'
pipe = pipeline("text2text-generation", model_path)

# Question Generation
question = pipe('<hl>  Beyonce further expanded her acting career, starring as blues singer Etta James in the 2008 musical biopic, Cadillac Records. <hl>')
```
