🚀 Google's T5 for Closed Book Question Answering

This project utilizes Google's T5 for Closed Book Question Answering. It aims to measure the practical utility of using pre - trained models to answer questions without external context or knowledge, demonstrating that this approach scales with model size and competes well with open - domain systems.

✨ Features

• The model was pre - trained using T5's denoising objective on C4.
• Subsequently, it was additionally pre - trained using REALM's salient span masking objective on Wikipedia.
• Finally, it was fine - tuned on Natural Questions (NQ).

📦 Installation

No specific installation steps are provided in the original document.

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

The model can be used as follows for closed book question answering:

from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer

t5_qa_model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("google/t5-3b-ssm-nq")
t5_tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/t5-3b-ssm-nq")

input_ids = t5_tok("When was Franklin D. Roosevelt born?", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
gen_output = t5_qa_model.generate(input_ids)[0]

print(t5_tok.decode(gen_output, skip_special_tokens=True))

Results on Natural Questions - Test Set

Abstract

It has recently been observed that neural language models trained on unstructured text can implicitly store and retrieve knowledge using natural language queries. In this short paper, we measure the practical utility of this approach by fine - tuning pre - trained models to answer questions without access to any external context or knowledge. We show that this approach scales with model size and performs competitively with open - domain systems that explicitly retrieve answers from an external knowledge source when answering questions. To facilitate reproducibility and future work, we release our code and trained models at https://goo.gle/t5 - cbqa.
