class XlmRoBertaForQuestionAnswering(classname='com.johnsnowlabs.nlp.annotators.classifier.dl.XlmRoBertaForQuestionAnswering', java_model=None)[source]#

XlmRoBertaForQuestionAnswering can load XLM-RoBERTa Models with a span classification head on top for extractive question-answering tasks like SQuAD (a linear layer on top of the hidden-states output to compute span start logits and span end logits).

Pretrained models can be loaded with pretrained() of the companion object:

>>> spanClassifier = XlmRoBertaForQuestionAnswering.pretrained() \
...     .setInputCols(["document_question", "document_context"]) \
...     .setOutputCol("answer")

The default model is "xlm_roberta_base_qa_squad2", if no name is provided.

For available pretrained models please see the Models Hub.

To see which models are compatible and how to import them see Import Transformers into Spark NLP 🚀.

Input Annotation types	Output Annotation type
DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT	CHUNK

Parameters:

batchSize

Batch size. Large values allows faster processing but requires more memory, by default 8

caseSensitive

Whether to ignore case in tokens for embeddings matching, by default False

configProtoBytes

ConfigProto from tensorflow, serialized into byte array.

maxSentenceLength

Max sentence length to process, by default 128

Examples

>>> import sparknlp
>>> from sparknlp.base import *
>>> from sparknlp.annotator import *
>>> from pyspark.ml import Pipeline
>>> documentAssembler = MultiDocumentAssembler() \
...     .setInputCols(["question", "context"]) \
...     .setOutputCol(["document_question", "document_context"])
>>> spanClassifier = XlmRoBertaForQuestionAnswering.pretrained() \
...     .setInputCols(["document_question", "document_context"]) \
...     .setOutputCol("answer") \
...     .setCaseSensitive(False)
>>> pipeline = Pipeline().setStages([
...     documentAssembler,
...     spanClassifier
... ])
>>> data = spark.createDataFrame([["What's my name?", "My name is Clara and I live in Berkeley."]]).toDF("question", "context")
>>> result = pipeline.fit(data).transform(data)
>>> result.select("answer.result").show(truncate=False)
