TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and a question based on the context. You have to classify the questions into "Extractive", "Abstractive", or "Yes-no" questions. Extractive questions can be answered by concatenating extracts taken from a context into a summary while answering abstractive questions involves paraphrasing the context using novel sentences. Yes-no question is a question whose expected answer is one of two choices, one that affirms the question and one that denies the question. Typically, the choices are either yes or no.
PROBLEM: In this section, we present the details of the analysis performed on the data obtained pertaining to Twitter messages from January 2020 upto now, that is the time since the news of the Coronavirus outbreak in China was spread across nations. Also, the data prominently captures the tweets in English, Spanish, and French languages. 
 Question: Do they collect only English data?

SOLUTION: Yes-no

PROBLEM:  We opted for an automatic approach instead, that can be scaled arbitrarily and at little cost: we generate synthetic sentence pairs $(, \tilde{})$ by randomly perturbing 1.8 million segments $$ from Wikipedia. We use three techniques: mask-filling with BERT, backtranslation, and randomly dropping out words.  
 Question: How are the synthetic examples generated?

SOLUTION: Abstractive

PROBLEM: We defined the intents with guidance from queries collected using a scoping crowdsourcing task, which prompted crowd workers to provide questions and commands related to topic domains in the manner they would interact with an artificially intelligent assistant. We manually grouped data generated by scoping tasks into intents.  
 Question: How was the dataset annotated?

SOLUTION:
Abstractive
