Fine-tune from checkpoint

[sandhiya18]

Is it possible to do a transfer learning on a new similar QA dataset by using the checkpoint from Link as an initialization point?

Hi @sandhiya18,

Technically, yes. But notice that the form of the answers in SQuAD is that the answer is given as a span of the context, so you may only test on other datasets with the same form. In addition, some data preprocessing is requires. You need to look at preprocessing.py to see how I process SQuAD and probably preform the same procedure on the dataset you wish to test on.

@unilight Thanks for your response. How do I resume my training from the checkpoints that is provided in the link?
