# Model Card of `lmqg/t5-base-squadshifts-nyt-qg`
This model is fine-tuned version of [lmqg/t5-base-squad](https://huggingface.co/lmqg/t5-base-squad) for question generation task on the [lmqg/qg_squadshifts](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmqg/qg_squadshifts) (dataset_name: nyt) via [`lmqg`](https://github.com/asahi417/lm-question-generation).


### Overview
- **Language model:** [lmqg/t5-base-squad](https://huggingface.co/lmqg/t5-base-squad)   
- **Language:** en  
- **Training data:** [lmqg/qg_squadshifts](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmqg/qg_squadshifts) (nyt)
- **Online Demo:** [https://autoqg.net/](https://autoqg.net/)
- **Repository:** [https://github.com/asahi417/lm-question-generation](https://github.com/asahi417/lm-question-generation)
- **Paper:** [https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03992](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03992)

### Usage
- With [`lmqg`](https://github.com/asahi417/lm-question-generation#lmqg-language-model-for-question-generation-)
```python
from lmqg import TransformersQG

# initialize model
model = TransformersQG(language="en", model="lmqg/t5-base-squadshifts-nyt-qg")

# model prediction
questions = model.generate_q(list_context="William Turner was an English painter who specialised in watercolour landscapes", list_answer="William Turner")

```

- With `transformers`
```python
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text2text-generation", "lmqg/t5-base-squadshifts-nyt-qg")
output = pipe("generate question: <hl> Beyonce <hl> further expanded her acting career, starring as blues singer Etta James in the 2008 musical biopic, Cadillac Records.")

```
