# A fine-tuned model on GoldP task from Tydi QA dataset
This model uses [bert-multi-cased-finetuned-xquadv1](https://huggingface.co/mrm8488/bert-multi-cased-finetuned-xquadv1) and fine-tuned on [Tydi QA](https://github.com/google-research-datasets/tydiqa) dataset for Gold Passage task [(GoldP)](https://github.com/google-research-datasets/tydiqa#the-tasks)
## Details of the language model
The base language model [(bert-multi-cased-finetuned-xquadv1)](https://huggingface.co/mrm8488/bert-multi-cased-finetuned-xquadv1) is a fine-tuned version of [bert-base-multilingual-cased](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-multilingual-cased) for the **Q&A** downstream task
## Details of the Tydi QA dataset
TyDi QA contains 200k human-annotated question-answer pairs in 11 Typologically Diverse languages, written without seeing the answer and without the use of translation, and is designed for the **training and evaluation** of automatic question answering systems. This repository provides evaluation code and a baseline system for the dataset. https://ai.google.com/research/tydiqa
## Details of the downstream task (Gold Passage or GoldP aka the secondary task)
Given a passage that is guaranteed to contain the answer, predict the single contiguous span of characters that answers the question. the gold passage task differs from the [primary task](https://github.com/google-research-datasets/tydiqa/blob/master/README.md#the-tasks) in several ways:
* only the gold answer passage is provided rather than the entire Wikipedia article;
* unanswerable questions have been discarded, similar to MLQA and XQuAD;
* we evaluate with the SQuAD 1.1 metrics like XQuAD; and
* Thai and Japanese are removed since the lack of whitespace breaks some tools.
## Model training
The model was fine-tuned on a Tesla P100 GPU and 25GB of RAM.
