In today’s world, providing effective feedback for short answers is a crucial skill, especially in legal domains like employment assistance. Using the Short-Answer Feedback model tailored for German social law, we can generate insightful feedback automatically based on provided inputs. In this article, we will guide you through the setup and usage of this model, ensuring you can effectively implement it in your projects.
Understanding the Model
This model is built upon the mBART architecture and is fine-tuned specifically for generating feedback on short answers in the legal framework of Germany. Let’s break down how to use it by creating an analogy:
Imagine you have a virtual assistant who specializes in German social laws. When you provide it with a question, an answer, and a reference answer, it analyzes the input and gives back feedback on the answer. Think of this assistant as the model, where your inputs are like the ingredients of a recipe, and the feedback is the delicious dish that comes out after the cooking process.
Requirements for Setup
- Python environment
- The Hugging Face Transformers library
- Access to a GPU (optional for speed)
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Installation
First, ensure you have the required libraries installed. You can install them using pip:
pip install transformers torch datasets
2. Load the Model and Tokenizer
Use the following code to load the model and tokenizer:
from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("mbart-finetuned-saf-legal-domain")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mbart-finetuned-saf-legal-domain")
3. Prepare Your Input
Prepare your input in the expected format:
example_input = "Antwort: [your_answer] Lösung: [reference_answer] Frage: [your_question]"
4. Generate Feedback
Now you can generate feedback by using the model like this:
inputs = tokenizer(example_input, max_length=256, padding="max_length", truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
generated_tokens = model.generate(inputs["input_ids"], attention_mask=inputs["attention_mask"], max_length=128)
output = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
5. View the Output
The resulting feedback will provide insights on whether the answer is correct, partially correct, or incorrect:
print(output)
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while implementing the model, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Make sure all libraries are correctly installed. Use the command mentioned in the installation section.
- Check the format of your input string; it must follow the expected pattern strictly.
- If you receive unexpected outputs, verify your training dataset and parameters if you fine-tuned the model.
- Consult the Hugging Face documentation if errors persist.
