It's been trained on question-answer pairs, including unanswerable questions, for the task of Extractive Question Answering. **UPDATE:** With transformers version 4.31.0 the `use_remote_code=True` is no longer necessary. **NOTE:** The `` token must be manually added to the beginning of the question for this model to work properly. It uses the `` token to be able to make "no answer" predictions. The t5 tokenizer does not automatically add this special token which is why it is added manually. ## Overview **Language model:** flan-t5-base **Language:** English **Downstream-task:** Extractive QA **Training data:** SQuAD 2.0 **Eval data:** SQuAD 2.0 **Infrastructure**: 1x NVIDIA 3070 ## Model Usage ```python import torch from transformers import( AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline ) model_name = "sjrhuschlee/flan-t5-base-squad2" # a) Using pipelines nlp = pipeline( 'question-answering', model=model_name, tokenizer=model_name, # trust_remote_code=True, # Do not use if version transformers>=4.31.0 ) qa_input = { 'question': f'{nlp.tokenizer.cls_token}Where do I live?', # 'Where do I live?'
