HVU_GQ

HHVU_GQ is a project dedicated to sharing datasets and tools for Question Generation Processing (NLP), developed and maintained by the research team at Hung Vuong University (HVU), Phu Tho, Vietnam.
This project is supported by Hung Vuong University, Phu Tho, Vietnam, with the aim of advancing research and applications in low-resource language processing, particularly for the Vietnamese language.

📚 Overview

This repository enables you to:

Fine-tune the VietAI/vit5-base model on your own QA dataset.
Generate multiple, diverse questions given a user-provided text passage (context).

📁 Dataset Format

Your dataset must follow the SQuAD v2.0 JSON structure:

{
  "version": "v2.0",
  "data": [
    {
      "title": "Đồ uống nào của Việt Nam từng lọt top ngon nhất thế giới?",
      "paragraphs": [
        {
          "qas": [
            {
              "id": "q1_1",
              "question": "Đồ uống nào của Việt Nam từng lọt top ngon nhất thế giới?",
              "answers": [
                {
                  "text": "Theo bản đánh giá tháng 2/2023 của Taste Atlas...",
                  "answer_start": "Theo bản đánh giá tháng 2/2023 của Taste Atlas..."
                }
              ],
              "is_impossible": false
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Required fields:

title → used as context
question → target question
answers[0].text → seed answer for training
is_impossible → filter for valid QAs

File name: 30ktrain.json (UTF-8)

📁 Datasets

This repository provides datasets for training and evaluating Vietnamese question generation models.

🔹 `DataTotalQCAtriples30k/`

30ktrain.json → 30,000 QCA triples for training.

🔹 `Datatest1k/`

testorgin1k.json → 1,000 examples for manual & automatic evaluation.

🔹 `Datatrain29k/`

29kcorpustag.json → 29,000 preprocessed QCA triples.

All files are UTF-8 encoded and ready for direct use in NLP pipelines.

📊 Evaluation Results

We performed manual evaluation on 500 samples and automatic evaluation on 1,000 samples.

Evaluation Type	Precision	Recall	F1-Score
Automatic (1000)	0.85	0.83	0.84
Manual (500)	0.88	0.86	0.87

🔧 Installation

Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:

Windows (PowerShell)

python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install torch transformers datasets scikit-learn

Linux / macOS

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install torch transformers datasets scikit-learn

🚀 Training (Fine-tuning)

Make sure 30ktrain.json is in the same folder as fine_tune_qg.py.

Run:

python fine_tune_qg.py

What happens:

Loads 30ktrain.json
Splits into 80% train / 20% validation
Tokenizes using T5Tokenizer
Fine-tunes VietAI/vit5-base for 3 epochs
Saves model + tokenizer to t5-viet-qg-finetuned/

Key training parameters (edit in fine_tune_qg.py if needed):

per_device_train_batch_size: 1
learning_rate: 2e-4
num_train_epochs: 3
max_input_length: 512
max_target_length: 64

💡 Generating Questions

Once training is done, use generate_question.py to generate new questions.

Ensure:

MODEL_DIR → t5-viet-qg-finetuned/
DATA_PATH → 30ktrain.json

Run:

python generate_question.py

Steps:

Enter a context passage (Vietnamese)
Enter number of questions (default 20, max 200)
Script will:
- Find best match in dataset by title similarity
- Use matched answer + your context
- Generate multiple unique questions with top-k & top-p sampling
Output lists generated questions.

⚙️ Generation Settings

In generate_question.py, tweak:

top_k (default 60)
top_p (default 0.95)
temperature (default 0.9)
no_repeat_ngram_size (default 3)
repetition_penalty (default 1.12)
