# FinTabQA: Financial Table Question-Answering

A model for financial table question-answering using the [LayoutLM](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/layoutlm-base-uncased) architecture.

## Quick start

To get started with FinTabQA, load it, and the tokenizer, like you would any other Hugging Face Transformer model.

```python3
from transformers import LayoutLMForQuestionAnswering, LayoutLMTokenizer

model = LayoutLMForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained("ethanbradley/fintabqa")
tokenizer = LayoutLMTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "microsoft/layoutlm-base-uncased")
```
