DocFormer for key-value pairs extraction

[hjerbii]

Hello,

Is it possible to train DocFormer on key-value (or Question/Answer) extraction task?
If so, could you please explain the approach?

Thanks!

Since DocFormer is an encoder, I think you can surely use it for your question answering task. You need to add a code for encoding the question and attach a prediction head for the same.

I think this link can help you with it, since conceptually there are a lot of similarity between them https://github.com/uakarsh/latr

Hope this helps
