Google's T5 for closed book question answering

Description

This is a text-to-text model trained by Google on the colossal, cleaned version of Common Crawl’s web crawl corpus (C4) data set and then fined tuned on Wikipedia and the natural questions (NQ) dataset. The model can answer free text questions, such as “Which is the capital of France ?” without relying on any context or external resources.
