Tim

It has been finetuned for 3 epochs on SQuAD2.0. DeBERTa improves the BERT and RoBERTa models using disentangled attention and enhanced mask decoder. With those two improvements, DeBERTa out perform RoBERTa on a majority of NLU tasks with 80GB training data. In DeBERTa V3, we further improved the efficiency of DeBERTa using ELECTRA-Style pre-training with Gradient Disentangled Embedding Sharing. Compared to DeBERTa, our V3 version significantly improves the model performance on downstream tasks. You can find more technique details about the new model from our paper. Please check the official repository for more implementation details and updates. mDeBERTa is multilingual version of DeBERTa…

Sebastian Husch Lee

This is the flan-t5-base model, fine-tuned using the SQuAD2.0 dataset. It's been trained on question-answer pairs, including unanswerable questions, for the task of Extractive Question Answering. UPDATE: With transformers version 4.31.0 the useremotecode=True is no longer necessary. NOTE: The token must be manually added to the beginning of the question for this model to work properly. It uses the token to be able to make "no answer" predictions. The t5 tokenizer does not automatically add this special token which is why it is added manually. The following hyperparameters were used during training: - learningrate: 2e-05 - trainbatchsize: 16 - evalbatchsize: 8 - gradientaccumulationsteps: 6…

Open weights mit 223M parameters transformers

Pretrained model on English language using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It was introduced in this paper and first released in this repository. This model is cased: it makes a difference between english and English. Differently to other BERT models, this model was trained with a new technique: Whole Word Masking. In this case, all of the tokens corresponding to a word are masked at once. The overall masking rate remains the same. The training is identical -- each masked WordPiece token is predicted independently. After pre-training, this model was fine-tuned on the SQuAD dataset with one of our fine-tuning scripts. See below for more information regarding this fine-tuning.…
