Task: Question Understanding
Input (English): Since our objective is to compare character-based and word-based approaches, we have also implemented a simple word-level encoder for tweets. The input tweet is first split into tokens along white-spaces. A more sophisticated tokenizer may be used, but for a fair comparison we wanted to keep language specific preprocessing to a minimum. The encoder is essentially the same as tweet2vec, with the input as words instead of characters. A lookup table stores word vectors for the $V$ (20K here) most common words, and the rest are grouped together under the `UNK' token. 
 Question: What is the word-level baseline?
Output (English): Extractive
