# albert-base-v2-squad_v2

This model is a fine-tuned version of [albert-base-v2](https://huggingface.co/albert-base-v2) on the squad_v2 dataset.

## Model description

This model is fine-tuned on the extractive question answering task -- The Stanford Question Answering Dataset -- [SQuAD2.0](https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/).

For convenience this model is prepared to be used with the frameworks `PyTorch`, `Tensorflow` and `ONNX`.

## Intended uses & limitations

This model can handle mismatched question-context pairs. Make sure to specify `handle_impossible_answer=True` when using `QuestionAnsweringPipeline`.

__Example usage:__

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering, AutoTokenizer, QuestionAnsweringPipeline
>>> model = AutoModelForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained("squirro/albert-base-v2-squad_v2")
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("squirro/albert-base-v2-squad_v2")
>>> qa_model = QuestionAnsweringPipeline(model, tokenizer)
>>> qa_model(
>>>    question="What's your name?",
>>>    context="My name is Clara and I live in Berkeley.",
>>>    handle_impossible_answer=True  # important!
>>> )
{'score': 0.9027367830276489, 'start': 11, 'end': 16, 'answer': 'Clara'}
```
