[Electra-base-discriminator](https://huggingface.co/google/electra-base-discriminator) fine-tuned on [SQUAD v1.1 dataset](https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/explore/1.1/dev/) for **Q&A** downstream task.
## Details of the downstream task (Q&A) - Model 🧠
**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](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.2661.pdf). 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](https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/) dataset.
## Details of the downstream task (Q&A) - Dataset 📚
**S**tanford **Q**uestion **A**nswering **D**ataset (SQuAD) is a reading comprehension dataset, consisting of questions posed by crowdworkers on a set of Wikipedia articles, where the answer to every question is a segment of text, or span, from the corresponding reading passage, or the question might be unanswerable.
SQuAD v1.1 contains **100,000+** question-answer pairs on **500+** articles.
## Model training 🏋️
The model was trained on a Tesla P100 GPU and 25GB of RAM with the following command:
