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.

In this study, we investigate the efficacy of bias reduction during training by introducing a new loss function which encourages the language model to equalize the probabilities of predicting gendered word pairs like he and she.  
 Question: what kinds of male and female words are looked at?
Extractive

The baselines are: (a) trained on S-SQuAD, (b) trained on T-SQuAD and then fine-tuned on S-SQuAD, and (c) previous best model trained on S-SQuAD BIBREF5 by using Dr.QA BIBREF20 . The proposed approach (row (f)) outperforms previous best model (row (c)) by 2% EM score and over 1.5% F1 score. 
 Question: What was the previous best model?
Extractive

We constructed our seed lexicon consisting of 15 positive words and 15 negative words, as shown in Section SECREF27.  
 Question: How big is seed lexicon used for training?

Abstractive
