0.4.5
Minor release including an important bug fix for Question Answering
Important Bug Fix QA
Fixing a bug that was introduced in 0.4.4 (#416 and #417) that resulted in returning only a single answer per document in certain situations. This caused particular trouble for open-domain QA settings like in haystack.
Speed optimization training from scratch
Adding multiple optimizations and bug fixes to improve training from scratch, incl.:
- Enable usage of DistributedDataParallel
- Enable Automatix Mixed Precision Training
- Fix bugs in StreamingDataSilo
- Fix bugs in Checkpointing (important for training via spot / on-demand instances)
This helped to boost training time in our benchmark from 616 hours down to 160 hours
