# ELECTRA-BASE-DISCRIMINATOR finetuned on SQuADv1

This is electra-base-discriminator model finetuned on SQuADv1 dataset for for question answering task.

## Model details
As mentioned in the original paper: ELECTRA is a new method for self-supervised language representation learning.
It can be used to pre-train transformer networks using relatively little compute. 
ELECTRA models are trained to distinguish "real" input tokens vs "fake" input tokens generated by another neural network, 
similar to the discriminator of a GAN. At small scale, ELECTRA achieves strong results even when trained on a single GPU.
At large scale, ELECTRA achieves state-of-the-art results on the SQuAD 2.0 dataset.

| Param               | #Value |
|---------------------|--------|
| layers              | 12     |
| hidden size         | 768    |
| num attetion heads  | 12     |
| on disk size        | 436MB  |

## Model training
This model was trained on google colab v100 GPU.

## Results
The results are actually slightly better than given in the paper. 
In the paper the authors mentioned that electra-base achieves 84.5 EM and 90.8 F1

| Metric | #Value |
|--------|--------|
| EM     | 85.0520|
| F1     | 91.6050|


## Model in Action  🚀
```python3
from transformers import pipeline

nlp = pipeline('question-answering', model='valhalla/electra-base-discriminator-finetuned_squadv1')
nlp({
    'question': 'What is the answer to everything ?',
    'context': '42 is the answer to life the universe and everything'
})
=> {'answer': '42', 'end': 2, 'score': 0.981274963050339, 'start': 0}
```
