XOR-TyDi_monolingual_DPR_ctx_encoder

Document (context) encoder, trained on monolingual (English queries) version of the XOR-TyDi training data, as described in the XOR-TyDi task description https://nlp.cs.washington.edu/xorqa/.

Usage

The model is compatible with the PrimeQA DPR engine, or the Hugging Face DPR engine as shown this example https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/faiss_es.
The model uses the tokenizer from facebook/dpr-question_encoder-multiset-base.
