# Adapter `AdapterHub/roberta-base-pf-boolq` for roberta-base

An [adapter](https://adapterhub.ml) for the `roberta-base` model that was trained on the [qa/boolq](https://adapterhub.ml/explore/qa/boolq/) dataset and includes a prediction head for classification.

This adapter was created for usage with the **[adapter-transformers](https://github.com/Adapter-Hub/adapter-transformers)** library.

## Usage

First, install `adapter-transformers`:

```
pip install -U adapter-transformers
```
_Note: adapter-transformers is a fork of transformers that acts as a drop-in replacement with adapter support. [More](https://docs.adapterhub.ml/installation.html)_

Now, the adapter can be loaded and activated like this:

```python
from transformers import AutoModelWithHeads

model = AutoModelWithHeads.from_pretrained("roberta-base")
adapter_name = model.load_adapter("AdapterHub/roberta-base-pf-boolq", source="hf")
model.active_adapters = adapter_name
```

## Architecture & Training

The training code for this adapter is available at https://github.com/adapter-hub/efficient-task-transfer.
In particular, training configurations for all tasks can be found [here](https://github.com/adapter-hub/efficient-task-transfer/tree/master/run_configs).
