### Generating Questions Given Context and Answers

Traditional BART model is not pre-trained on QG tasks. We fine-tuned `facebook/bart-large` model using 55k human-created question answering pairs with contexts collected by [Demszky et al. (2018)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.02922). The dataset includes SQuAD and QA2D question answering pairs associated with contexts.  

### How to use
Here is how to use this model in PyTorch:
```python
from transformers import BartForConditionalGeneration, BartTokenizer
import torch

tokenizer = BartTokenizer.from_pretrained('uzw/bart-large-question-generation')
model = BartForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('uzw/bart-large-question-generation')

context = "The Thug cult resides at the Pankot Palace."
answer = "The Thug cult"

inputs = tokenizer.encode_plus(
    context, 
    answer, 
    max_length=512, 
    padding='max_length', 
    truncation=True, 
    return_tensors='pt'
)

with torch.no_grad():
    generated_ids = model.generate(
        input_ids=inputs['input_ids'], 
        attention_mask=inputs['attention_mask'],
        max_length=64,  # Maximum length of generated question
        num_return_sequences=3,  # Generate multiple questions
        do_sample=True,  # Enable sampling for diversity
        temperature=0.7  # Control randomness of generation
    )

generated_questions = tokenizer.batch_decode(
    generated_ids, 
    skip_special_tokens=True
)

for i, question in enumerate(generated_questions, 1):
    print(f"Generated Question {i}: {question}")
```

Adjusting parameter `num_return_sequences` to generate multiple questions.
