Introduction

Welcome to the Question Answering project powered by Hugging Face Transformers and Gradio. This project provides a user-friendly interface for performing question-answering tasks, allowing users to input a question and a context paragraph, and the model will generate an answer.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before you run the application, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed:

  • Python 3.6+: Make sure you have Python 3.6 or higher installed on your system.

  • Hugging Face Transformers: Install the Hugging Face Transformers library, which is used for powerful natural language processing tasks.

    pip install transformers
    
  • Gradio: Install Gradio, a user-friendly Python library for creating web-based UIs for machine learning models.

    pip install gradio
    
  • Datasets: Depending on your specific dataset requirements, make sure to install any additional datasets you might need for training or evaluation.

    pip install datasets
    

Configuration Reference

For detailed configuration options and fine-tuning, please refer to the Hugging Face Spaces Config Reference.

Usage

Follow these steps to get started with the Question Answering project:

  1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

    # Make sure you have git-lfs installed (https://git-lfs.com)
    git lfs install
    git clone https://huggingface.co./spaces/xjlulu/question_answering
    cd question_answering
    
    # if you want to clone without large files – just their pointers
    # prepend your git clone with the following env var:
    GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1
    
  2. Install the necessary dependencies as mentioned in the "Prerequisites" section.

  3. Prepare your data if you're using a custom dataset. Ensure that your dataset is in the right format for your model.

  4. Run the application:

    python app.py
    

    You can customize app.py to modify the appearance and behavior of the application as needed.

  5. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:7860 to access the Question Answering interface.
