Question Generator using Text2Text Transformers for the German language

This repository contains code for training and evaluating a text-to-text transformer model for question generation.
The models are trained on the deepset/germanquad dataset.

Model

The model is based on the mT5 model.

These models are fine-tuned on the aforementioned datasets for the amount of epochs specified in the script_config.json file.

Training

The training is done using the run-qg.py script. The script can be run with the following command:

python run-qg.py script_config.json

The script can be configured using the script_config.json file.

Evaluation

The evaluation is done using the run-qg.py script as well. For this, change the configuration to include the attribute "do_eval": true and run the script. Feel free to set "do_train": false as well, if you don't want to train the model.

Inference

The inference is done using the run-qg.py script as well. For this, change the configuration to include the attribute "do_predict": true and run the script. Feel free to set "do_train": false and "do_eval": false as well, if you don't want to train or evaluate the model.
