Definition: In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and you have to write an answerable question based on the context. Your questions can be extractive, abstractive, or yes-no questions.

Positive Example 1 -
Input: Questions are gathered from anonymized, aggregated queries to the Google search engine. Queries that are likely to be yes/no questions are heuristically identified: we found selecting queries where the first word is in a manually constructed set of indicator words and are of sufficient length, to be effective.

Questions are only kept if a Wikipedia page is returned as one of the first five results, in which case the question and Wikipedia page are given to a human annotator for further processing.

Annotators label question/article pairs in a three-step process. First, they decide if the question is good, meaning it is comprehensible, unambiguous, and requesting factual information. This judgment is made before the annotator sees the Wikipedia page. Next, for good questions, annotators find a passage within the document that contains enough information to answer the question. Annotators can mark questions as “not answerable" if the Wikipedia article does not contain the requested information. Finally, annotators mark whether the question's answer is “yes" or “no". Annotating data in this manner is quite expensive since annotators need to search entire Wikipedia documents for relevant evidence and read the text carefully.
Output: how was the dataset built?

Positive Example 2 -
Input: Using this annotation model, we create a new large publicly available dataset of English tweets.
Output: In what language are the tweets?

Negative Example 1 -
Input: Using this annotation model, we create a new large publicly available dataset of English tweets.
Output: In what language is tweets?

Negative Example 2 -

Output: What is the size of the dataset?

Now complete the following example -
Input: Semantic Retrieval: We treated the neural semantic retrieval at both the paragraph and sentence level as binary classification problems with models' parameters updated by minimizing binary cross entropy loss. To be specific, we fed the query and context into BERT as:

We applied an affine layer and sigmoid activation on the last layer output of the [$\mathit {CLS}$] token which is a scalar value. The parameters were updated with the objective function:

where $\hat{p}_i$ is the output of the model, $\mathbf {T}^{p/s}_{pos}$ is the positive set and $\mathbf {T}^{p/s}_{neg}$ is the negative set. As shown in Fig. FIGREF2, at sentence level, ground-truth sentences were served as positive examples while other sentences from upstream retrieved set were served as negative examples. Similarly at the paragraph-level, paragraphs having any ground-truth sentence were used as positive examples and other paragraphs from the upstream term-based retrieval processes were used as negative examples.
Output: 



Output: How do they train the retrieval modules?
