Task: Question Generation
Input (English): To model an answer which is a collection of spans, the multi-span head uses the $\mathtt {BIO}$ tagging format BIBREF8: $\mathtt {B}$ is used to mark the beginning of a span, $\mathtt {I}$ is used to mark the inside of a span and $\mathtt {O}$ is used to mark tokens not included in a span. In this way, we get a sequence of chunks that can be decoded to a final answer - a collection of spans.
Output (English): How they use sequence tagging to answer multi-span questions?
