+# TAPEX (large-sized model) 
+
+TAPEX was proposed in [TAPEX: Table Pre-training via Learning a Neural SQL Executor](https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.07653) by Qian Liu, Bei Chen, Jiaqi Guo, Morteza Ziyadi, Zeqi Lin, Weizhu Chen, Jian-Guang Lou. The original repo can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/Table-Pretraining).
+
+## Model description
+
+TAPEX (**Ta**ble **P**re-training via **Ex**ecution) is a conceptually simple and empirically powerful pre-training approach to empower existing models with *table reasoning* skills. TAPEX realizes table pre-training by learning a neural SQL executor over a synthetic corpus, which is obtained by automatically synthesizing executable SQL queries.
+
+TAPEX is based on the BART architecture, the transformer encoder-encoder (seq2seq) model with a bidirectional (BERT-like) encoder and an autoregressive (GPT-like) decoder.
+
+## Intended Uses
+
+You can use the raw model for simulating neural SQL execution, i.e., employ TAPEX to execute a SQL query on a given table. However, the model is mostly meant to be fine-tuned on a supervised dataset. Currently TAPEX can be fine-tuned to tackle table question answering tasks and table fact verification tasks. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=tapex) to look for fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you.
+
+### How to Use
+
+Here is how to use this model in transformers:
+
+```python
+from transformers import TapexTokenizer, BartForConditionalGeneration
+import pandas as pd
+
+tokenizer = TapexTokenizer.from_pretrained("microsoft/tapex-base")
+model = BartForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("microsoft/tapex-base")
+
+data = {
+    "year": [1896, 1900, 1904, 2004, 2008, 2012],
+    "city": ["athens", "paris", "st. louis", "athens", "beijing", "london"]
+}
+table = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(data)
+
+# tapex accepts uncased input since it is pre-trained on the uncased corpus
+query = "select year where city = beijing"
+encoding = tokenizer(table=table, query=query, return_tensors="pt")
+
+outputs = model.generate(**encoding)
+
+print(tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True))
+# ['2008']
+```
+
+### How to Fine-tuning
+
+Please find the fine-tuning script [here](https://github.com/SivilTaram/transformers/tree/add_tapex_bis/examples/research_projects/tapex).
