cdgp-csg-bart-dgen

Model description

This model is a Candidate Set Generator in "CDGP: Automatic Cloze Distractor Generation based on Pre-trained Language Model", Findings of EMNLP 2022.

Its input are stem and answer, and output is candidate set of distractors. It is fine-tuned by DGen dataset based on facebook/bart-base model.

For more details, you can see our paper or GitHub.

How to use?

1. Download model by hugging face transformers.

from transformers import BartTokenizer, BartForConditionalGeneration, pipeline

tokenizer = BartTokenizer.from_pretrained("AndyChiang/cdgp-csg-bart-dgen")
csg_model = BartForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("AndyChiang/cdgp-csg-bart-dgen")

2. Create a unmasker.

unmasker = pipeline("fill-mask", tokenizer=tokenizer, model=csg_model, top_k=10)

3. Use the unmasker to generate the candidate set of distractors.

sent = "The only known planet with large amounts of water is <mask>. </s> earth"
cs = unmasker(sent)
print(cs)

Dataset

This model is fine-tuned by DGen dataset, which covers multiple domains including science, vocabulary, common sense and trivia. It is compiled from a wide variety of datasets including SciQ, MCQL, AI2 Science Questions, etc. The detail of DGen dataset is shown below.

DGen dataset	Train	Valid	Test	Total
Number of questions	2321	300	259	2880

You can also use the dataset we have already cleaned.

Training

We use a special way to fine-tune model, which is called "Answer-Relating Fine-Tune". More details are in our paper.
