🚀 TAPEX (large-sized model)
TAPEX is a pre - training approach that endows existing models with table reasoning skills. It was proposed in a research paper and can be used for complex table question - answering tasks.
✨ Features
- Table Reasoning Empowerment: TAPEX enables existing models to acquire table reasoning skills through a pre - training approach.
- Based on BART Architecture: It builds on the BART architecture, a transformer encoder - decoder (seq2seq) model with a bidirectional encoder and an autoregressive decoder.
- Fine - tuned on Dataset: This
tapex - base
model is fine - tuned on the WikiTableQuestions dataset.

💻 Usage Examples
Basic Usage
from transformers import TapexTokenizer, BartForConditionalGeneration
import pandas as pd
tokenizer = TapexTokenizer.from_pretrained("microsoft/tapex-large-finetuned-wtq")
model = BartForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("microsoft/tapex-large-finetuned-wtq")
data = {
"year": [1896, 1900, 1904, 2004, 2008, 2012],
"city": ["athens", "paris", "st. louis", "athens", "beijing", "london"]
}
table = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(data)
query = "In which year did beijing host the Olympic Games?"
encoding = tokenizer(table=table, query=query, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**encoding)
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True))
📚 Documentation
Model description
TAPEX (Table Pre - training via Execution) is a conceptually simple and empirically powerful pre - training approach to empower existing models with table reasoning skills. TAPEX realizes table pre - training by learning a neural SQL executor over a synthetic corpus, which is obtained by automatically synthesizing executable SQL queries.
TAPEX is based on the BART architecture, the transformer encoder - decoder (seq2seq) model with a bidirectional (BERT - like) encoder and an autoregressive (GPT - like) decoder.
This model is the tapex - base
model fine - tuned on the WikiTableQuestions dataset.
Intended Uses
You can use the model for table question answering on complex questions. Some solveable questions are shown below (corresponding tables now shown):
