## DistilT5 for question-generation
This is distilled version of [t5-small-qa-qg-hl](https://huggingface.co/valhalla/t5-small-qa-qg-hl) model trained for question answering and answer aware question generation tasks.
The model is distilled using the **No Teacher Distillation** method proposed by Huggingface, [here](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/examples/seq2seq#distilbart).
We just copy alternating layers from `t5-small-qa-qg-hl` and finetune more on the same data. Following table lists other distilled models and their metrics.

You can play with the model using the inference API. Here's how you can use it
For QG
`generate question: <hl> 42 <hl> is the answer to life, the universe and everything.`
For QA
`question: What is 42 context: 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything.`

[![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/patil-suraj/question_generation/blob/master/question_generation.ipynb)
```python3
from pipelines import pipeline
nlp = pipeline("multitask-qa-qg", model="valhalla/distilt5-qa-qg-hl-6-4")
# to generate questions simply pass the text
nlp("42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything.")
=> [{'answer': '42', 'question': 'What is the answer to life?'}]
# for qa pass a dict with "question" and "context"
nlp({
"question": "What is 42 ?",
"context": "42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything."
})
=> 'the answer to life, the universe and everything'
```
