This is a small BERT-large like model distilled on SQuAD v1.1 training set from original bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-finetuned-squad provided by the Transformers library. The model performs question answering for English language; the input is a concatenated premise and question for the premise, and the output is the location of the answer to the question inside the premise. For details about the original model, check out BERT: Pre-training of Deep Bidirectional Transformers for Language Understanding, HuggingFace's Transformers: State-of-the-art Natural Language Processing.
Tokenization occurs using the BERT tokenizer (see the demo code for implementation details) and the enclosed vocab.txt
dictionary file. Input is to be lower-cased before tokenizing.

Token IDs, name:
input_ids
, shape: [1x384]. Token IDs is sequence of integer values that is representing the tokenized premise and question. The sequence structure is as follows ([CLS]
,[SEP]
and[PAD]
should be replaced by corresponding token IDs as specified by the dictionary):[CLS]
+ tokenized question +[SEP]
+ tokenized premise of the question +[SEP]
+ ([PAD]
tokens to pad to the maximum sequence length of 384) -
Input mask, name:
attention_mask
, shape: [1x384]. Input mask is a sequence of integer values representing the mask of valid values in the input. The values of this input are equal to:1
at positions corresponding to the[CLS]
+ tokenized question +[SEP]
+ tokenized premise of the question +[SEP]
part of theinput_ids
(i.e. all positions except those containing the[PAD]
tokens), and0
at all other positions
-
Token types, name:
token_type_ids
, shape: [1x384]. Token types is sequence of integer values representing the segmentation of theinput_ids
into question and premise. The values are equal to:1
at positions corresponding to the tokenized premise of the question +[SEP]
part of theinput_ids
, and0
at all other positions
[CLS]
is a special symbol added in front of the question.[SEP]
is a special separator token inserted between the question and premise of the question.[PAD]
is a special token used to fill the rest of the input to get given input length (384).
The outputs of the net are two 1, 384
floating point-valued logit scores vectors that after soft-max operation are probabilities for start and end positions of answer in the premise of the question.
-
Start position: name:
output_s
, shape: [1x384]. Start position is floating point-valued logit scores for start position. -
End position: name:
output_e
, shape: [1x384]. End position is floating point-valued logit scores for end position.
