bert cloze distractor generation

cdgp-csg-bert-dgen

Model description

This model is a Candidate Set Generator in "CDGP: Automatic Cloze Distractor Generation based on Pre-trained Language Model", Findings of EMNLP 2022.

Its input are stem and answer, and output is candidate set of distractors. It is fine-tuned by DGen dataset based on bert-base-uncased model.

For more details, you can see our paper or GitHub.

How to use?

  1. Download model by hugging face transformers.
from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertForMaskedLM, pipeline

tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("AndyChiang/cdgp-csg-bert-dgen")
csg_model = BertForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("AndyChiang/cdgp-csg-bert-dgen")
  1. Create a unmasker.
unmasker = pipeline("fill-mask", tokenizer=tokenizer, model=csg_model, top_k=10)
  1. Use the unmasker to generate the candidate set of distractors.
sent = "The only known planet with large amounts of water is [MASK]. [SEP] earth"
cs = unmasker(sent)
print(cs)
