Question Answering Web App

Question Answering Web App is a web application used to answer question-based on a given context or passage.

I am using Hugging Face pretrained DistilBERT model trained on SQuAD dataset. DistilBERT is a small, fast, cheap and light Transformer model trained by distilling Bert base. It has 40% less parameters than bert-base-uncased, runs 60% faster while preserving over 95% of Bert’s performances as measured on the GLUE language understanding benchmark.

Running locally:

• Install node and npm(https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm)
• Clone the repository
• Navigate to inside the project folder on terminal, where I would hopefully see a package.json file.
• Do an npm install for installing all the project dependencies.
• Do an npm install -g nodemon for installing all the project dependencies.
• Then npm start OR node server.js OR nodemon server.js to get the app running on local host at port 4000.
