class BertForMultipleChoice extends AnnotatorModel[BertForMultipleChoice] with HasBatchedAnnotate[BertForMultipleChoice] with WriteOnnxModel with WriteOpenvinoModel with HasCaseSensitiveProperties with HasEngine

BertForMultipleChoice can load BERT Models with a multiple choice classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output and a softmax) e.g. for RocStories/SWAG tasks.

Pretrained models can be loaded with pretrained of the companion object:

val spanClassifier = BertForMultipleChoice.pretrained()
  .setInputCols(Array("document_question", "document_context"))
  .setOutputCol("answer")

The default model is "bert_base_uncased_multiple_choice", if no name is provided.

For available pretrained models please see the Models Hub.

Models from the HuggingFace 🤗 Transformers library are also compatible with Spark NLP 🚀. To see which models are compatible and how to import them see https://github.com/JohnSnowLabs/spark-nlp/discussions/5669 and to see more extended examples, see BertForMultipleChoiceTestSpec.

Example

import spark.implicits._
import com.johnsnowlabs.nlp.base._
import com.johnsnowlabs.nlp.annotator._
import org.apache.spark.ml.Pipeline

val document = new MultiDocumentAssembler()
  .setInputCols("question", "context")
  .setOutputCols("document_question", "document_context")

val questionAnswering = BertForMultipleChoice.pretrained()
  .setInputCols(Array("document_question", "document_context"))
  .setOutputCol("answer")
  .setCaseSensitive(false)

val pipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(Array(
  document,
  questionAnswering
))

val data = Seq("The Eiffel Tower is located in which country?", "Germany, France, Italy").toDF("question", "context")
val result = pipeline.fit(data).transform(data)

result.select("answer.result").show(false)
