Model overview
The mdeberta-v3-base-squad2 model is a multilingual version of the DeBERTa model, fine-tuned on the SQuAD 2.0 dataset for extractive question answering. DeBERTa, introduced in the DeBERTa paper, improves upon the BERT and RoBERTa models using disentangled attention and an enhanced mask decoder. Compared to these earlier models, DeBERTa achieves stronger performance on a majority of natural language understanding tasks.
The DeBERTa V3 paper further enhances the efficiency of DeBERTa using ELECTRA-style pre-training with gradient-disentangled embedding sharing. This mdeberta-v3-base model is a multilingual version of the DeBERTa V3 base model, which has 12 layers, a hidden size of 768, and 86M backbone parameters.
Compared to the monolingual deberta-v3-base model, the mdeberta-v3-base model was trained on the 2.5 trillion token CC100 multilingual dataset, giving it the ability to understand and generate text in many languages. Like the monolingual version, this multilingual model demonstrates strong performance on a variety of natural language understanding benchmarks.
Model inputs and outputs
Inputs
- Question: A natural language question to be answered
- Context: The text passage that contains the answer to the question
Outputs
- Answer: The text span from the context that answers the question
- Score: The model's confidence in the predicted answer, between 0 and 1
- Start: The starting index of the answer span in the context
- End: The ending index of the answer span in the context
Capabilities
The mdeberta-v3-base-squad2 model is capable of extracting the most relevant answer to a given question from a provided text passage. It was fine-tuned on the SQuAD 2.0 dataset, which tests this exact task of extractive question answering.
On the SQuAD 2.0 dev set, the model achieves an F1 score of 84.01 and an exact match score of 80.88, demonstrating strong performance on this benchmark.
What can I use it for?
The mdeberta-v3-base-squad2 model can be used for a variety of question answering applications, such as:
- Building chatbots or virtual assistants that can engage in natural conversations and answer users' questions
- Developing educational or academic applications that can help students find answers to their questions within provided text
- Enhancing search engines to better understand user queries and retrieve the most relevant information
By leveraging the multilingual capabilities of this model, these applications can be made accessible to users across a wide range of languages.
Things to try
One interesting aspect of the mdeberta-v3-base-squad2 model is its strong performance on the SQuAD 2.0 dataset, which includes both answerable and unanswerable questions. This means the model has learned to not only extract relevant answers from a given context, but also to identify when the context does not contain enough information to answer a question.
You could experiment with this capability by providing the model with a variety of questions, some of which have clear answers in the context and others that are more open-ended or lacking sufficient information. Observe how the model's outputs and confidence scores differ between these two cases, and consider how this could be leveraged in your applications.
Another interesting direction to explore would be fine-tuning the mdeberta-v3-base model on additional datasets or tasks beyond just SQuAD 2.0. The strong performance of the DeBERTa architecture on a wide range of natural language understanding benchmarks suggests that this multilingual version could be effectively adapted to other question answering, reading comprehension, or even general language understanding tasks.

The distilbert-base-uncased-distilled-squad model is a smaller, faster version of the BERT base model that was trained using knowledge distillation. It was introduced in the blog post "Smaller, faster, cheaper, lighter: Introducing DistilBERT, a distilled version of BERT" and the paper "DistilBERT, a distilled version of BERT: smaller, faster, cheaper and lighter". This DistilBERT model was fine-tuned on the SQuAD v1.1 dataset using a second step of knowledge distillation. It has 40% fewer parameters than the original BERT base model, runs 60% faster, while preserving over 95% of BERT's performance on the GLUE language understanding benchmark. Model inputs and outputs Inputs Question**: A natural language question about a given context passage. Context**: A passage of text that contains the answer to the question. Outputs Answer**: The span of text from the context that answers the question. Score**: The confidence score of the predicted answer. Start/End Indices**: The starting and ending character indices of the answer span within the context. Capabilities The distilbert-base-uncased-distilled-squad model is capable of answering questions about a given text passage, extracting the most relevant span of text to serve as the answer. For example, given the context: Extractive Question Answering is the task of extracting an answer from a text given a question. An example of a question answering dataset is the SQuAD dataset, which is entirely based on that task. And the question "What is a good example of a question answering dataset?", the model would correctly predict the answer "SQuAD dataset". What can I use it for? This model can be leveraged for building question answering systems, where users can ask natural language questions about a given text and the model will extract the most relevant answer. This could be useful for building chatbots, search engines, or other information retrieval applications. The reduced size and increased speed of this DistilBERT model compared to the original BERT make it more practical for deploying in production environments with constrained compute resources. Things to try One interesting thing to try with this model is evaluating its performance on different types of questions and text domains beyond the SQuAD dataset it was fine-tuned on. The model may work well for factual, extractive questions, but its performance could degrade for more open-ended, complex questions that require deeper reasoning. Experimenting with the model's capabilities on a diverse set of question answering benchmarks would provide a more holistic understanding of its strengths and limitations.
