T5 base fine-tuned on MP-DocVQA
This is pretrained T5 base fine-tuned on Multipage DocVQA (MP-DocVQA) dataset.
This model was used as a baseline in Hierarchical multimodal transformers for Multi-Page DocVQA.
- Results on the MP-DocVQA dataset are reported in Table 2.
- Training hyperparameters can be found in Table 8 of Appendix D.
How to use
Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch:
import torch
from transformers import T5Tokenizer, T5ForConditionalGeneration
tokenizer = LongformerTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("rubentito/t5-base-mpdocvqa")
model = LongformerForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained("rubentito/t5-base-mpdocvqa")
context = "Huggingface has democratized NLP. Huge thanks to Huggingface for this."
question = "What has Huggingface done?"
input_text = "question: {:s} context: {:s}".format(question, context)
encoding = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
output = self.model.generate(**encoding)
answer = tokenizer.decode(output['sequences'], skip_special_tokens=True)
Metrics
Average Normalized Levenshtein Similarity (ANLS)
The standard metric for text-based VQA tasks (ST-VQA and DocVQA). It evaluates the method's reasoning capabilities while smoothly penalizes OCR recognition errors. Check Scene Text Visual Question Answering for detailed information.
Answer Page Prediction Accuracy (APPA)
In the MP-DocVQA task, the models can provide the index of the page where the information required to answer the question is located. For this subtask accuracy is used to evaluate the predictions: i.e. if the predicted page is correct or not. Check Hierarchical multimodal transformers for Multi-Page DocVQA for detailed information.
