# 🇹🇷 ConvBERTurkQA for Turkish Question-Answering
This model is a fine-tuned version of [ConvBERTurk Base](https://huggingface.co/dbmdz/convbert-base-turkish-cased) on the [SQuAD-TR](https://huggingface.co/datasets/boun-tabi/squad_tr), a machine‑translated Turkish version of the original [SQuAD 2.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/rajpurkar/squad_v2). For more details about the dataset, methodology, and experiments, you can refer to the corresponding [research paper](https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/bsengineering/issue/88008/1596832).

## How to Use

You can use the model directly with 🤗 Transformers:

```python
from transformers import pipeline

qa = pipeline(
    "question-answering",
    model="incidelen/convbert-base-turkish-cased-qa"
)

result = qa(
    question="...",
    context="..."
)

print(result)
```
## Evaluation Results
| Exact Match (%)    | F1 Score (%)      |
|--------------------|-------------------|
| 57.82              | 71.59             |
