Confidence Scoring For Answer Validity

question-answering model by undefined. 2,40,125 downloads.

Unique: SQuAD v2 fine-tuning includes explicit training on unanswerable questions, so the model learns to produce low confidence scores across all token positions when no valid answer exists, rather than defaulting to spurious high-confidence spans

vs others: More reliable confidence estimates than models trained only on SQuAD v1 because it has learned the distinction between answerable and unanswerable contexts, reducing false-positive answer predictions
