In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and you have to write an answerable question based on the context. Your questions can be extractive, abstractive, or yes-no questions.

We adapted BERTNLU from ConvLab-2.  We implemented a rule-based model (RuleDST) and adapted TRADE (Transferable Dialogue State Generator) BIBREF19 in this experiment.  We adapted a vanilla policy trained in a supervised fashion from ConvLab-2 (SL policy). 
What are the benchmark models?

In our setup, our starting point is a base model, trained on NLI data. Rather than employing automated adversarial methods, here the model's “adversary” is a human annotator. Given a context (also often called a “premise” in NLI), and a desired target label, we ask the human writer to provide a hypothesis that fools the model into misclassifying the label. One can think of the writer as a “white hat” hacker, trying to identify vulnerabilities in the system. For each human-generated example that is misclassified, we also ask the writer to provide a reason why they believe it was misclassified.
Do they use active learning to create their dataset?

 We use hyperopt library to select the hyper-parameters on the following values: LSTM layer size (16, 32, 64), dropout ($0.0-0.9$), activation function ($relu$, $selu$, $tanh$), optimizer ($sgd$, $adam$, $rmsprop$) with varying the value of the learning rate (1e-1,..,-5), and batch size (4, 8, 16)

What activation function do they use in their model?
