Welcome to the fascinating world of Multimodal Question Duplicity Detection (MQDD)! This blog will guide you through the steps necessary to utilize the powerful MQDD models and datasets, all while ensuring that you smoothly navigate any potential bumps along the way. Let’s make the complex comprehensible together!

What is MQDD?

The MQDD project focuses on detecting duplicate questions in the software engineering domain. By utilizing trained models, it aims to improve search relevance and information retrieval from platforms like Stack Overflow. The primary resources released with this project include trained models, datasets, and detailed documentation to help you kickstart your own projects.

Getting Started

To start using the MQDD models, you will refer to several essential components:

• Trained Models
• Stack Overflow Datasets
• Code Snippets to implement the model

Step 1: Accessing the Datasets

First, you’ll need to obtain the datasets mentioned in the MQDD paper. You can find them here:

• For the Stack Overflow Datasets, visit our Stack Overflow Dataset repository.
• For the Stack Overflow Duplicity Dataset, refer to the same repository.

Step 2: Pre-trained Model Setup

To acquire the pre-trained model, you can pull it from the following link: UWB-AIRMQDD-pretrained.

Step 3: Incorporating the Model into Your Project

To effectively utilize the model, you will need Python and the `transformers` library. Here’s where the analogy comes into play:

Imagine you have a fantastic recipe for a cake (the trained model). However, you need to gather all the correct ingredients (the code and libraries) before you can bake it. The tools and ingredients are as follows:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("UWB-AIRMQDD-duplicates")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("UWB-AIRMQDD-duplicates")

Here, `AutoTokenizer` and `AutoModel` are essential ingredients that help you prepare and bake the model for your needs, ensuring that it performs well for detecting duplicate questions.

Step 4: Building a Search System

You can also use a self-standing encoder without a duplicate detection head. This is akin to having a versatile multipurpose kitchen appliance that can be used for various cooking tasks. It allows for crafting search systems using the Faiss library:

from MQDD_model import ClsHeadModelMQDD

model = ClsHeadModelMQDD("UWB-AIRMQDD-duplicates")
ckpt = torch.load("model.pt", map_location="cpu")
model.load_state_dict(ckpt["model_state"])

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during your setup or implementation, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure all libraries are correctly installed.
• Double-check your model paths and dataset accesses.
• Consult the documentation in the GitHub repository for common error codes and solutions.
