Original implementation of the Bi-directional Attention Flow (BiDAF) network for machine comprehension on the SQuAD dataset. It is a multi-stage hierarchical deep learning model built in TensorFlow that produces query-aware context representations for extractive question answering.
Use cases
- train a question answering model on SQuAD
- reproduce BiDAF results from the paper
- study bi-directional attention flow for reading comprehension
- run extractive QA on a passage given a question
- benchmark machine comprehension models
When to choose
- you need the reference implementation of BiDAF for research or reproduction
- you want a classic baseline for extractive question answering on SQuAD
When to avoid
- you need a modern, maintained QA system or transformer-based models
- you use TensorFlow 2.x or recent Python versions, since this targets TensorFlow r0.11
- you want production-ready question answering out of the box
