# tinyroberta-squad2

This is the *distilled* version of the [deepset/roberta-base-squad2](https://huggingface.co/deepset/roberta-base-squad2) model. This model has a comparable prediction quality and runs at twice the speed of the base model.

## Overview
**Language model:** tinyroberta-squad2  
**Language:** English  
**Downstream-task:** Extractive QA  
**Training data:** SQuAD 2.0  
**Eval data:** SQuAD 2.0  
**Code:** See [an example QA pipeline on Haystack](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/first-qa-system)    
**Infrastructure**: 4x Tesla v100

## Hyperparameters

```
batch_size = 96
n_epochs = 4
base_LM_model = "deepset/tinyroberta-squad2-step1"
max_seq_len = 384
learning_rate = 3e-5
lr_schedule = LinearWarmup
warmup_proportion = 0.2
doc_stride = 128
max_query_length = 64
distillation_loss_weight = 0.75
temperature = 1.5
teacher = "deepset/robert-large-squad2"
``` 

## Distillation
This model was distilled using the TinyBERT approach described in [this paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.10351.pdf) and implemented in [haystack](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack).
Firstly, we have performed intermediate layer distillation with roberta-base as the teacher which resulted in [deepset/tinyroberta-6l-768d](https://huggingface.co/deepset/tinyroberta-6l-768d).
Secondly, we have performed task-specific distillation with [deepset/roberta-base-squad2](https://huggingface.co/deepset/roberta-base-squad2) as the teacher for further intermediate layer distillation on an augmented version of SQuADv2 and then with [deepset/roberta-large-squad2](https://huggingface.co/deepset/roberta-large-squad2) as the teacher for prediction layer distillation. 

## Usage

### In Haystack
Haystack is an NLP framework by deepset. You can use this model in a Haystack pipeline to do question answering at scale (over many documents). To load the model in [Haystack](https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/):

```python
reader = FARMReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/tinyroberta-squad2")
# or 
reader = TransformersReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/tinyroberta-squad2")
```

### In Transformers
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name = "deepset/tinyroberta-squad2"

# a) Get predictions
nlp = pipeline('question-answering', model=model_name, tokenizer=model_name)
QA_input = {
    'question': 'Why is model conversion important?',
    'context': 'The option to convert models between FARM and transformers gives freedom to the user and let people easily switch between frameworks.'
}
res = nlp(QA_input)

# b) Load model & tokenizer
model = AutoModelForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
```

## Performance
Evaluated on the SQuAD 2.0 dev set with the [official eval script](https://worksheets.codalab.org/rest/bundles/0x6b567e1cf2e041ec80d7098f031c5c9e/contents/blob/).
