Minor release including an important bug fix for Question Answering

Important Bug Fix QA

Fixing a bug that was introduced in 0.4.4 (#416 and #417) that resulted in returning only a single answer per document in certain situations. This caused particular trouble for open-domain QA settings like in haystack.

Speed optimization training from scratch

Adding multiple optimizations and bug fixes to improve training from scratch, incl.:

  • Enable usage of DistributedDataParallel
  • Enable Automatix Mixed Precision Training
  • Fix bugs in StreamingDataSilo
  • Fix bugs in Checkpointing (important for training via spot / on-demand instances)

This helped to boost training time in our benchmark from 616 hours down to 160 hours
See #305 for details

Other changes:

  • Add model optimization to inference loading #415
  • Proper attribute assignment in QA with yes / no answer #414
