tinybert for Extractive QA

Overview

Language model: deepset/tinybert-6L-768D-squad2 Language: English Training data: SQuAD 2.0 training set x 20 augmented + SQuAD 2.0 training set without augmentation Eval data: SQuAD 2.0 dev set Code: See an example extractive QA pipeline built with Haystack Infrastructure: 1x V100 GPU Published: Dec 8th, 2021

Details

—Haystack's intermediate layer and prediction layer distillation features were used for training (based on TinyBERT). deepset/bert-base-uncased-squad2 was used as the teacher model and huawei-noah/TinyBERTGeneral6L_768D was used as the student model.

Hyperparameters

Intermediate layer distillation

batch_size = 26
n_epochs = 5
max_seq_len = 384
learning_rate = 5e-5
lr_schedule = LinearWarmup
embeds_dropout_prob = 0.1
temperature = 1

Prediction layer distillation

batch_size = 26
n_epochs = 5
max_seq_len = 384
learning_rate = 3e-5
lr_schedule = LinearWarmup
embeds_dropout_prob = 0.1
temperature = 1
distillation_loss_weight = 1.0

Usage

In Haystack

Haystack is an AI orchestration framework to build customizable, production-ready LLM applications. You can use this model in Haystack to do extractive question answering on documents. To load and run the model with Haystack:

python

# After running pip install haystack-ai "transformers[torch,sentencepiece]"

from haystack import Document
from haystack.components.readers import ExtractiveReader

docs = [
    Document(content="Python is a popular programming language"),
    Document(content="python ist eine beliebte Programmiersprache"),
]

reader = ExtractiveReader(model="deepset/tinybert-6l-768d-squad2")
reader.warm_up()

question = "What is a popular programming language?"
result = reader.run(query=question, documents=docs)
# {'answers': [ExtractedAnswer(query='What is a popular programming language?', score=0.5740374326705933, data='python', document=Document(id=..., content: '...'), context=None, document_offset=ExtractedAnswer.Span(start=0, end=6),...)]}

For a complete example with an extractive question answering pipeline that scales over many documents, check out the corresponding Haystack tutorial.

In Transformers

python

from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name = "deepset/tinybert-6l-768d-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)
