[Electra-small-discriminator](https://huggingface.co/google/electra-small-discriminator) fine-tuned on [SQUAD v2.0 dataset](https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/explore/v2.0/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 📚
**SQuAD2.0** combines the 100,000 questions in SQuAD1.1 with over 50,000 unanswerable questions written adversarially by crowdworkers to look similar to answerable ones. To do well on SQuAD2.0, systems must not only answer questions when possible, but also determine when no answer is supported by the paragraph and abstain from answering.
## Model training 🏋️
The model was trained on a Tesla P100 GPU and 25GB of RAM with the following command:
