  # MVP-question-answering
  The MVP-question-answering model was proposed in [**MVP: Multi-task Supervised Pre-training for Natural Language Generation**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.12131) by Tianyi Tang, Junyi Li, Wayne Xin Zhao and Ji-Rong Wen.
  
  The detailed information and instructions can be found [https://github.com/RUCAIBox/MVP](https://github.com/RUCAIBox/MVP).
  
  ## Model Description
  MVP-question-answering is a prompt-based model that MVP is further equipped with prompts pre-trained using labeled question answering datasets. It is a variant (MVP+S) of our [MVP](https://huggingface.co/RUCAIBox/mvp) [MVP](https://huggingface.co/RUCAIBox/mvp) model. It follows a Transformer encoder-decoder architecture with layer-wise prompts.
  
  MVP-question-answering is specially designed for question answering tasks, such as reading comprehension (SQuAD), conversational question answering (CoQA) and closed-book question-answering (Natural Questions).
  
  ## Example
  ```python
  >>> from transformers import MvpTokenizer, MvpForConditionalGeneration
  
  >>> tokenizer = MvpTokenizer.from_pretrained("RUCAIBox/mvp")
  >>> model = MvpForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("RUCAIBox/mvp-question-answering")
  
  >>> inputs = tokenizer(
  ...     "Answer the following question: From which country did Angola achieve independence in 1975?",
  ...     return_tensors="pt",
  ... )
  >>> generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs)
  >>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
