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 CLOTH dataset based on bert-base-uncased model.

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

How to use?

Download the model by hugging face transformers.

python

from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertForMaskedLM, pipeline

tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("AndyChiang/cdgp-csg-bert-cloth")
csg_model = BertForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("AndyChiang/cdgp-csg-bert-cloth")

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 = "I feel [MASK] now. [SEP] happy"
cs = unmasker(sent)
print(cs)

Dataset

This model is fine-tuned by CLOTH dataset, which is a collection of nearly 100,000 cloze questions from middle school and high school English exams. The detail of CLOTH dataset is shown below.

Number of questions	Train	Valid	Test
Middle school	22056	3273	3198
High school	54794	7794	8318
Total	76850	11067	11516

You can also use the dataset we have already cleaned.

Training

We use a special way to fine-tune model, which is called "Answer-Relating Fine-Tune". More detail is in our paper.
