  # Model description
  
  An XLM-RoBERTa Large reading comprehension model initialized from [nq_tydi_sq1-xlmr_large-20221110](https://huggingface.co/PrimeQA/nq_tydi_sq1-reader-xlmr_large-20221110/)
  with continued training on TyDi QA with passage answer spans used for the begin and end of boolean questions.
  
  ## Intended uses & limitations
  
  You can use the raw model for the reading comprehension task. Biases associated with the pre-existing language model, xlm-roberta-large, that we used may be present in our fine-tuned model.
  
  ## Usage
  
  You can use this model directly with the [PrimeQA](https://github.com/primeqa/primeqa) pipeline for reading comprehension [squad.ipynb](https://github.com/primeqa/primeqa/blob/main/notebooks/mrc/squad.ipynb).
