# microsoft/deberta-v3-large for QA
This is the [deberta-v3-large](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/deberta-v3-large) model, fine-tuned using the [SQuAD2.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/squad_v2) dataset. It's been trained on question-answer pairs, including unanswerable questions, for the task of Question Answering.
## Overview
**Language model:** roberta-base
**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**: 1x NVIDIA A10G
## Hyperparameters
```
batch_size = 2
grad_acc_steps = 32
n_epochs = 6
base_LM_model = "microsoft/deberta-v3-large"
max_seq_len = 512
learning_rate = 7e-6
lr_schedule = LinearWarmup
warmup_proportion = 0.2
doc_stride=128
max_query_length=64
```
## 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/roberta-base-squad2")
# or
reader = TransformersReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/roberta-base-squad2",tokenizer="deepset/roberta-base-squad2")
```
For a complete example of ``roberta-base-squad2`` being used for Question Answering, check out the [Tutorials in Haystack Documentation](https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/first-qa-system)
### In Transformers
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
model_name = "deepset/deberta-v3-large-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/).
