Task: Question Answering
Input (English): When we annotate dialogues, we should read dialogues from begin to the end. For each utterance, we should find its one parent node at least from all its previous utterances. We assume that the discourse structure is a connected graph and no utterance is isolated. We propose three questions for eache dialogue and annotate the span of answers in the input dialogue. As we know, our dataset is the first corpus for multi-party dialogues reading comprehension.

We construct following questions and answers for the dialogue in Example 1:

Q1: When does Bdale leave?

A1: Fri morning

Q2: How to get people love Mark in Mjg59's opinion.

A2: Hire people to work on reverse-engineering closed drivers.

On the other hand, to improve the difficulty of the task, we propose $ \frac{1}{6}$ to $ \frac{1}{3}$ unanswerable questions in our dataset. We annotate unanswerable questions and their plausible answers (PA). Each plausible answer comes from the input dialogue, but is not the answer for the plausible question.

Q1: Whis is the email of daniels?

PA: +61 403 505 896 
 Question: Is annotation done manually?
Output (English): Yes
