"text": "Natural language processing (NLP) is one of the fastest growing field in computational linguistics and artificial intelligence, e.g. ACL has experienced a 140% growth from 2017 (1419 submissions) to 2020 (3429 submissions). Plus, there are more than 4000 pre-prints published at ArXiv in 2019. As a result, it has become increasingly stressful for researchers to keep up with the evolution of new methods. Today, the common way for researchers to find relevant papers is via searching keywords in Google Scholar 2 or Semantic Scholar 3 . Although these search engines are great at curating all the papers, they are limited in the following ways: (1) they are based on classic information retrieval methods, and do not handle natural language queries well, e.g. what effects can we get from label smoothing? (2) they are designed to find relevant documents (title and abstract) instead of direct answers to users' questions. Often researchers are looking for answers on specific research questions, e.g, how to prevent posterior collapse in VAE? or how much is it to label sentences via crowdsourcing? With current search engine, it requires one to read several papers to find these answer. Therefore, it is necessary to create better tools for researchers to find answers from the scientific publications in a more efficient manner.", |

Pretrained and then fine-tuned transformer models (Devlin et al., 2018) have surpassed human performance on a number of datasets, e.g. SQuAD (Rajpurkar et al., 2016) . Further, Chen et al. (2017) extended single document MRC to machine reading at scale (MRS), combining the challenges of document retrieval with reading comprehension. Their open-domain QA system is able to find precise answers from millions of unstructured documents using natural language queries and has successfully been applied to the entire Wikipedia which contains more than 5 million articles.", |

Concretely, we first adapted MRS techniques to create a conversational search portal that enable users to ask natural language questions to find precise answers and extract insights from the last 3 year papers published in top-tier NLP conferences, including ACL, NAACL, EMNLP and etc. Second, an initial corpus on these papers is collected and will be released as a publicly available dataset for QA research. We also developed a collaborative annotation toolkit that enable any researcher to contribute to this dataset so that more potential answers from these papers can be annotated. The annotation results will be fed back to the QA corpus after manual validation. ", |

"text": "Developing question answering system with text knowledge base has been studied for decades (Voorhees and Tice, 1999) . Many of the classic system as well as recent MRC-based opendomain QA systems have relied a pipeline approach (Ferrucci et al., 2010; Chen et al., 2017; : (1) a information retrieval-based retriever module first finds relevant passages from all the documents and then (2) a reader component (computationally more expensive) extracts precise answer spans from the retrieved passages. has shown that using paragraphs as the unit of passage outperform sentences or documents. Lee et al. (2019a) proposes a trainable first-stage retriever that improves the recall performance. Pipeline-based system often suffer from error propagation (Zhao and Eskenazi, 2016) . Thus another line of research has been finding an end-toend approach that enable precise-answer extraction from the entire dataset instead of only the output from the first-stage retriever. Seo et al. (2019) introduced the phrase level representation model that index every potential answer span as vector representation and exploited approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) methods to retrieve the final answer span directly from a large vector index (Slaney and Casey, 2008) . Ahmad et al. (2019) argued that phrase-level answer may not always be required or preferred. Instead they proposed to find the right \"sentence\" as an answer from large body of text, and used universal sentence encoder (Cer et al., 2018) to retrieved the correct sentence given a question.", |

"text": "Our approach follows the sentence-level QA system from (Ahmad et al., 2019) for two reasons: (1) answers to many research questions cannot be cov-ered in a short phrase-level span, and a sentence answer can provide more context to deliver relevant solutions. (2) our preliminary study found that it is important to have a trainable retriever that goes beyond TF-IDF keyword matching to ensure enough recall in the paper domain. Nonetheless, we keep a machine reader as optional post-process to extract phrase-level span from the sentences.", |

Note that Q i is optional and often only a small set of frames are manually labelled. There are two neural network models involve in SOCO QA. The first model h a = F a (a, c) is an answer encoder that takes both the answer sentence and its surround context to create a contextsensitive answer embeddings h a . The second model is a question encoder h q = F q (q) that takes a query as input and maps it to a question embedding vector of the same size. Last, we define the relevance between a query and an answer frame to be s = cos(h a , h q ).", |

BM25-based methods remain to be the mainstream methods for document retrieval in industry. Previous work in open domain question answering has shown that BM25 is a difficult baseline to surpass when questions were written by workers who have prior knowledge of the answer (Lee et al., 2019a) . We will leave more comprehensive comparisons against other learning-based methods to future work, since the main goal of this demo paper is to present the system along with its dataset. We use the built-in elastic search (Gormley and Tong, 2015) (NQ) , MS MARCO (Nguyen et al., 2016) and Trivia QA (Joshi et al., 2017) . We break documents from the development set into sentence-level answer frames, and uses the queries in the development set to compute Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR) and Recall at 5 (R@5) as the evaluation metrics.

Table 3 shows a striking 251% and 253.6% relative MRR improvement on the NQ and MARCO dataset.

Another popular question type is to ask about the state-ofthe-art method to solve a particular problem, e.g. What is the best system for NLI?. We also found that the generated questions that are presented as auto-completion and FAQs are particularly popular. About 51.7% of queries were from the suggested questions.
