Albert-xxl-v1 with SQuAD 2.0 sentences

Objective

The model was trained as cross-encoder classification model with the objective to re-rank the results in a QA pipline.

How to use

from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer


model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("apohllo/albert-xxl-squad-sentences", num_labels=2)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("apohllo/albert-xxl-squad-sentences")

from transformers import pipeline

# Add device=0 if you want to use GPU!
classifier = pipeline("text-classification", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, batch_size=16) #, device=0)

sentences = [...]    # some sentences to be re-ranked, wrt to the question
question = "..."     # a question to be asked against the sentences

samples = [{"text": s, "text_pair": question} for s in sentences]
results = classifier(samples)
    
results = [(idx, r["score"]) if r["label"] == 'LABEL_1' else (idx, 1 - r["score"]) 
            for idx, r in enumerate(results)]

top_k = 5
keys_values = sorted(results, key=lambda e: -e[1])[:top_k]

Data

The data from SQuAD 2.0 was sentence-split. The question + the sentence containing the answer was a positive example. The question + the remaining sentence from the same Wikipedia passege were treated as hard negative examples.

The table balow reports the classification results on the validation set.
