Model Card for T5-LM-Large_Canard-HotpotQA-rephrase

This model is trained on three objectives: (1) Generating answers for Canard dataset, (2) Generating answers for HotpotQA, (3) Rephrasing questions by the previous conversations of Canard.

Training

The model was trained using the following script, exported from the corresponding Jupyter notebook. All details, including the request format, can be inferred without errors from the code. The best checkpoint was picked by a minimal loss on all (3) training objectives.

import datasets
canard_train_augm = datasets.load_dataset("gaussalgo/Canard_Wiki-augmented", split="train")  # see the dataset card for details
canard_test_augm = datasets.load_dataset("gaussalgo/Canard_Wiki-augmented", split="test")

canard_df = canard_train_augm.to_pandas()
canard_test_df = canard_train_augm.to_pandas()
