Welcome to your guide on utilizing MarkupLM, an advanced model fine-tuned for Question Answering tasks! Derived from Microsoft’s MarkupLM and tuned specifically on a subset of the WebSRC dataset, this model aims to enhance your experience with visually-rich document understanding and information extraction.

Understanding the Concept: An Analogy

Imagine MarkupLM as a wise librarian who not only knows every book in the library (textual content) but also understands how those books are organized and presented (markup language). This librarian can efficiently find and present information based on your inquiries. Just like that librarian, MarkupLM can parse complex documents and extract the relevant answers you seek through its exquisite understanding of both text and its structural layout.

How to Fine-tune MarkupLM

To effectively fine-tune MarkupLM on a specific dataset, follow these steps:

• Prepare your dataset, ensuring it’s compatible with the requirements specified in the fine-tuning arguments.
• Utilize settings like --per_gpu_train_batch_size 4, --warmup_ratio 0.1, and --num_train_epochs 4 to set up your training parameters.

Implementing MarkupLM for Question Answering

After fine-tuning, you can start using MarkupLM for making inquiries. Here’s how you can set it up:

model = MarkupLMForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained('FuriouslyAsleep/markuplm-large-finetuned-qa')

With the model instantiated, you’ll also need to set up the tokenizer:

tokenizer = MarkupLMTokenizer(
    vocab_file='vocab.json',
    merges_file='merges.txt',
    tags_dict={...},
    add_prefix_space=True
)

Replace the {...} in tags_dict with the corresponding HTML tags and their mapped values from the provided documentation.

Testing the Model

To test the question-answering capabilities of your refined model, you may visit the Markup QA space here. However, note that testing may not work perfectly, so be patient as you troubleshoot any issues that arise.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any hiccups during implementation, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Double-check your environment to ensure all dependencies are correctly installed.
• Refer to the NielsRogge transformers markuplm branch for additional guidance on model handling.
• Ensure your dataset is clean and formatted according to the specifications provided.
