QuAC introduces\nchallenges not found in existing machine comprehension datasets: its\nquestions are often more open-ended, unanswerable, or only meaningful\nwithin the dialog context.\n", "citation": "@inproceedings{choi-etal-2018-quac,\ntitle = \"QUAC: Question answering in context\",\nabstract = \"We present QuAC, a dataset for Question Answering in Context that contains 14K information-seeking QA dialogs (100K questions in total). The dialogs involve two crowd workers: (1) a student who poses a sequence of freeform questions to learn as much as possible about a hidden Wikipedia text, and (2) a teacher who answers the questions by providing short excerpts from the text. QuAC introduces challenges not found in existing machine comprehension datasets: its questions are often more open-ended, unanswerable, or only meaningful within the dialog context, as we show in a detailed qualitative evaluation. We also report results for a number of reference models, including a recently state-of-the-art reading comprehension architecture extended to model dialog context. Our best model underperforms humans by 20 F1, suggesting that there is significant room for future work on this data.
