  ## T5 for question-generation
  This is [t5-base](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.10683) model trained for answer aware question generation task. The answer spans are highlighted within the text with special highlight tokens. 
  
  You can play with the model using the inference API, just highlight the answer spans with `<hl>` tokens and end the text with `</s>`. For example
  
  `<hl> 42 <hl> is the answer to life, the universe and everything. </s>`
