camembert-base-squadFR-fquad-piaf

Description

Question-answering French model, using base CamemBERT fine-tuned on a combo of three French Q&A datasets:

1. PIAFv1.1
2. FQuADv1.0
3. SQuAD-FR (SQuAD automatically translated to French)

Usage

from transformers import pipeline

nlp = pipeline('question-answering', model='etalab-ia/camembert-base-squadFR-fquad-piaf', tokenizer='etalab-ia/camembert-base-squadFR-fquad-piaf')

nlp({
    'question': "Qui est Claude Monet?",
    'context': "Claude Monet, né le 14 novembre 1840 à Paris et mort le 5 décembre 1926 à Giverny, est un peintre français et l’un des fondateurs de l'impressionnisme."
