Welcome to the world of multi-choice question answering using innovative AI models! In this article, we will guide you through utilizing a Persian-speaking variant of the mT5 model, specifically designed to handle multiple-choice questions efficiently.

Getting Started

To get started with the mT5 model, make sure that you have the necessary libraries installed. You will require the transformers library from Hugging Face, which houses a plethora of models, including our star—the mT5. If you haven’t installed it yet, you can do so via pip:

pip install transformers

Setting Up the Model

Once your environment is ready, let’s dive into the actual code. We will walk through the setup in a step-by-step manner.

python
from transformers import MT5ForConditionalGeneration, MT5Tokenizer

model_size = "small"
model_name = "fpersiannlpmt5-model_size-parsinlu-arc-comqa-obqa-multiple-choice"

tokenizer = MT5Tokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = MT5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(model_name)

Think of the above code as preparing a stage for a performance. The MT5Tokenizer is responsible for converting your text into a format the model can understand—like changing a script into a language the actors can perform. Meanwhile, the MT5ForConditionalGeneration is the actor itself, ready to deliver the lines based on the direction given in the script!

Running the Model

Now for the exciting part—running the model to answer your questions! You can define a function like this:

def run_model(input_string, **generator_args):
    input_ids = tokenizer.encode(input_string, return_tensors='pt')
    res = model.generate(input_ids, **generator_args)
    output = tokenizer.batch_decode(res, skip_special_tokens=True)
    print(output)
    return output

This function is similar to a director giving instructions to the actors on stage. The input string represents the question you want answered, along with potential options separated by ‘sep’, acting like a script that outlines the scene.

Example Questions

Here are a couple of examples to see the model in action:

run_model("وسیع ترین کشور جهان کدام است؟ sep امریکا sep کانادا sep روسیه sep چین")
run_model("طامع یعنی ؟ sep آزمند sep خوش شانس sep محتاج sep مطمئن")
run_model("زمینی به ۳۱ قطعه متساوی مفروض شده است و هر روز مساحت آماده شده برای احداث، دو برابر مساحت روز قبل است. اگر پس از (۵ روز) تمام زمین آماده شده باشد، در چه روزی یک قطعه زمین آماده شده sep روز اول sep روز دوم sep روز سوم sep هیچکدام")

Troubleshooting

If you run into any issues, here are some common troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure your model name is spelled correctly and available in the Hugging Face hub.
• Check if all dependencies are installed. Missing packages may lead to import errors.
• Be attentive to the input format—questions need to include ‘sep’ to separate options accurately.
• If you encounter errors, search for the error message online; often, the community has already provided solutions.
