FARM is a Python framework for fine-tuning and evaluating transformer-based language models for NLP tasks, with a focus on question answering. It provides modular building blocks for transfer learning with models like BERT, RoBERTa, and XLNet in industry settings.

Use cases

• fine-tune BERT for question answering
• train a named entity recognition model with transformers
• evaluate pretrained language models on NLP tasks
• build a document QA system over my own data
• transfer learning for German NLP models
• fine-tune RoBERTa for text classification

When to choose

• you need fine-grained control over fine-tuning transformer models for QA or NER
• you want a PyTorch-based framework with experiment tracking and evaluation built in
• you are working with German or multilingual BERT-style models

When to avoid

• you want a production-ready QA pipeline rather than a training framework (prefer deepset's Haystack)
• you need the latest LLM features or active community support
• you only need inference with pretrained models without fine-tuning
