# bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-squad2

This is a berta-large model, fine-tuned using the SQuAD2.0 dataset for the task of question answering.

## Overview (example - fill to need)
**Language model:** bert-large  
**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)  

## 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/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-squad2")
# or 
reader = TransformersReader(model_name_or_path="FILL",tokenizer="deepset/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-squad2")
```

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

model_name = "deepset/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-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)
```
