# Adapter `AdapterHub/bert-base-uncased-pf-comqa` for bert-base-uncased

An [adapter](https://adapterhub.ml) for the `bert-base-uncased` model that was trained on the [com_qa](https://huggingface.co./datasets/com_qa/) dataset and includes a prediction head for question answering.

This adapter was created for usage with the **[adapter-transformers](https://github.com/Adapter-Hub/adapter-transformers)** library.

## Usage

First, install `adapter-transformers`:

```
pip install -U adapter-transformers
```
_Note: adapter-transformers is a fork of transformers that acts as a drop-in replacement with adapter support. [More](https://docs.adapterhub.ml/installation.html)_

Now, the adapter can be loaded and activated like this:

```python
from transformers import AutoModelWithHeads

model = AutoModelWithHeads.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
adapter_name = model.load_adapter("AdapterHub/bert-base-uncased-pf-comqa", source="hf")
model.active_adapters = adapter_name
```

## Architecture & Training

The training code for this adapter is available at https://github.com/adapter-hub/efficient-task-transfer.
In particular, training configurations for all tasks can be found [here](https://github.com/adapter-hub/efficient-task-transfer/tree/master/run_configs).
