md = """This prediction model is designed to answer a question about a given input text--reading comprehension. The model does not just answer questions in general -- it only works from the text that you provide. However, automated reading comprehension can be a valuable task.

The model is based on the Zafrir et al. (2021) paper: [Prune Once for All: Sparse Pre-Trained Language Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.05754). The model can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/Intel/bert-base-uncased-squadv1.1-sparse-80-1x4-block-pruneofa). It has had weight pruning and model distillation applied to create a sparse weight pattern that is maintained even after fine-tuning has been applied. According to Zafrir et al. (2016), their "results show the best compression-to-accuracy ratio for BERT-Base". This model is still in FP32, but can be quantized to INT8 with the [Intel® Neural Compressor](https://github.com/intel/neural-compressor). An INT8 version of this model can actually be found [here on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/Intel/distilbert-base-uncased-squadv1.1-sparse-80-1x4-block-pruneofa-int8). 

The training dataset used is the English Wikipedia dataset (2500M words), and then fine-tuned on the SQuADv1.1 dataset containing 89K training examples, compiled by Rajpurkar et al. (2016): [100, 000+ Questions for Machine Comprehension of Text](https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.05250).

The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, is still found today. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe and were brought to North America by European colonists. Apples have religious and mythological significance in many cultures, including Norse, Greek, and European Christian tradition. Apples grown from seed tend to be very different from those of their parents, and the resultant fruit frequently lacks desired characteristics. Generally, apple cultivars are propagated by clonal grafting onto rootstocks. Apple trees grown without rootstocks tend to be larger and much slower to fruit after planting. Rootstocks are used to control the speed of growth and the size of the resulting tree, allowing for easier harvesting."
