This model is a Candidate Set Generator in "CDGP: Automatic Cloze Distractor Generation based on Pre-trained Language Model", Findings of EMNLP 2022.

Its input are stem and answer, and output is candidate set of distractors. It is fine-tuned by DGen dataset based on facebook/bart-base model.

For more details, you can see our paper or GitHub.

How to use?

Download model by hugging face transformers.

python

from transformers import BartTokenizer, BartForConditionalGeneration, pipeline

tokenizer = BartTokenizer.from_pretrained("AndyChiang/cdgp-csg-bart-dgen")
csg_model = BartForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("AndyChiang/cdgp-csg-bart-dgen")

Create a unmasker.

unmasker = pipeline("fill-mask", tokenizer=tokenizer, model=csg_model, top_k=10)

Use the unmasker to generate the candidate set of distractors.

python

sent = "The only known planet with large amounts of water is <mask>. </s> earth"
cs = unmasker(sent)
print(cs)

Dataset

This model is fine-tuned by DGen dataset, which covers multiple domains including science, vocabulary, common sense and trivia. It is compiled from a wide variety of datasets including SciQ, MCQL, AI2 Science Questions, etc. The detail of DGen dataset is shown below.
