MobileBERT fine-tuned on SQuAD v1

MobileBERT is a thin version of BERT_LARGE, while equipped with bottleneck structures and a carefully designed balance between self-attentions and feed-forward networks.

This model was fine-tuned from the HuggingFace checkpoint google/mobilebert-uncased on SQuAD1.1.

Details

Example Usage

from transformers import pipeline

qa_pipeline = pipeline(
    "question-answering",
    model="csarron/mobilebert-uncased-squad-v1",
    tokenizer="csarron/mobilebert-uncased-squad-v1"
)

predictions = qa_pipeline({
    'context': "The game was played on February 7, 2016 at Levi's Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area at Santa Clara, California.",
    'question': "What day was the game played on?"
})

print(predictions)
# output:
# {'score': 0.7754058241844177, 'start': 23, 'end': 39, 'answer': 'February 7, 2016'}
