QA Model Training Script β€” HACKATHON SPEED EDITION (FIXED)
===========================================================
Target: ~15–25 min on RTX 4050 6GB VRAM, NO crashes.
Fixes vs original train_qa_fast.py:
[BUG FIX] doc_stride=192 with max_length=256 was BROKEN.
Stride must be significantly less than max_length.
Rule of thumb: stride = max_length // 4 (64 here).
Original "192" left only 64-token overlap β†’ answers at window
edges were silently mapped to CLS (treated as unanswerable).
[BUG FIX] batch_size=32 would OOM on 6GB VRAM with distilroberta.
Safe value is 16 with gradient_accumulation_steps=2,
giving effective batch size 32 with no OOM risk.
[BUG FIX] CUAD contracts are very long β€” 3000 examples Γ— ~120 windows
= ~360k tokenized features. Way too slow for a hackathon.
Fix: cap source examples at 500 AND cap tokenized features
at 12,000. Gives ~375 steps β†’ ~15-25 min on RTX 4050.
[SAFETY] Added PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF fragmentation guard.
[SAFETY] fp16 + gradient checkpointing combo β€” halves VRAM footprint.
[SPEED] max_train_samples=500, MAX_FEATURES=12000 β€” done in <30 min.
[SPEED] tinyroberta-squad2 is kept β€” it's 4x smaller than roberta-base.
[QUALITY] doc_stride fixed, so answer extraction is now correct.
Expected wall-clock (RTX 4050 6GB, fp16):
12000 features (~500 samples) β†’ ~15–25 min ← default
20000 features (~800 samples) β†’ ~35–45 min
30000 features (~1200 samples) β†’ ~55–70 min (use --max_features 30000)
Usage:
python train_qa_fast.py # safe defaults (~20 min)
python train_qa_fast.py --max_features 20000 # better model (~40 min)
python train_qa_fast.py --max_features 30000 # best quality (~65 min)
python train_qa_fast.py --device cpu # CPU fallback (slow)

Sliding-window tokenization for extractive QA.
IMPORTANT β€” doc_stride constraint:
doc_stride MUST be substantially less than max_length.
The overlap region (max_length - doc_stride) is what lets the model
"see" answers that fall near a window boundary.
Safe range: doc_stride = max_length // 4 to max_length // 3
(64–85 tokens of overlap for max_length=256 is fine)
The original script used stride=192 on max_length=256 β€” only 64-token
overlap β€” which caused most boundary answers to silently fall back to
the CLS token (marked unanswerable). This function uses the value
passed in from train(); the default here is 64.
