The README for the rag-end2end-retriever research project contains a broken Google Drive link to the SQuAD training dataset, knowledge base, and hyperparameters used in the experiments.

Location: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers-research-projects/tree/main/rag-end2end-retriever

Broken link text:

Training dataset, the knowledge-base, and hyperparameters used in experiments can be accessed from here.

Issue: The Google Drive folder returns "Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist" (404).

This link is essential for anyone trying to reproduce the results reported in:

Siriwardhana et al., Improving the Domain Adaptation of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Models for Open Domain Question Answering, TACL 2023. https://aclanthology.org/2023.tacl-1.1/

Could @shamanez please restore or update the link?

Thank you.

PR fix notes

PR #5: docs(rag-end2end-retriever): replace broken Google Drive link

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

The rag-end2end-retriever/README.md links to a Google Drive folder for the SQuAD training dataset, knowledge-base, and hyperparameters used in the original experiments. The folder no longer exists - the URL returns HTTP 404 ("Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist") - which blocks anyone trying to reproduce the results.

This was reported in huggingface/transformers#44868 (filed against the wrong repo, the README lives here).

Verified the link is broken:

$ curl -sL -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" "https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qyzV-PaEARWvaU_jjpnU_NUS3U_dSjtG?usp=sharing"
404

The fix replaces the dead link with an actionable note pointing readers to:

  • The existing rag-end2end-retriever/finetune_rag_ray_end2end.sh script in this directory for the hyperparameters.
  • The official SQuAD release for the dataset.

This keeps reproducibility instructions but removes the misleading URL.

Fix Plan

To fix the broken link, we need to update the README with a new, working link to the SQuAD training dataset, knowledge base, and hyperparameters.

Steps

  • Check if the Google Drive folder still exists and is accessible.
  • If the folder exists, update the link in the README to the new sharing link.
  • If the folder does not exist, upload the necessary files to a new Google Drive folder and update the link in the README.

Example Code (Markdown)

Update the README.md file with the new link:

Training dataset, the knowledge-base, and hyperparameters used in experiments 
can be accessed from [here](NEW_LINK_TO_GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER).

Replace NEW_LINK_TO_GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER with the actual link to the new Google Drive folder.

Verification

  • Open the updated README.md file and click on the link to verify that it works.
  • Check that the link points to the correct Google Drive folder containing the SQuAD training dataset, knowledge base, and hyperparameters.

Extra Tips

  • Consider uploading the necessary files to a more stable storage solution, such as a GitHub repository or a cloud storage service, to avoid broken links in the future.
  • Update the link in any other relevant documentation or references to ensure consistency.
