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.

[Q]: In this section, we first describe a baseline method inspired by the “align to segment” of BIBREF12, BIBREF13. We then propose two extensions providing the model with a signal relevant to the segmentation process, so as to move towards a joint learning of segmentation and alignment. 
 Question: Does the paper report any alignment-only baseline?
[A]: Yes-no


[Q]: One of the major drawbacks of SCRF models is their high computational cost. In our experiments, the CTC model is around 3-4 times faster than the SRNN model that uses the same RNN encoder. To cut down the computational cost, we investigated if CTC can be used to pretrain the RNN encoder to speed up the training of the joint model. Figure 2 shows the convergence curves of the joint model with and without CTC pretraining, and we see pretraining indeed improves the convergence speed of the joint model. 
 Question: Can SCRF be used to pretrain the model?
[A]: Yes-no


[Q]: Datasets
For training English-Hindi NMT systems, we use the IITB English-Hindi parallel corpus BIBREF22 ( INLINEFORM0 sentences from the training set) and the ILCI English-Hindi parallel corpus ( INLINEFORM1 sentences). The ILCI (Indian Language Corpora Initiative) multilingual parallel corpus BIBREF23 spans multiple Indian languages from the health and tourism domains. We use the 520-sentence dev-set of the IITB parallel corpus for validation. For each child task, we use INLINEFORM2 sentences from ILCI corpus as the test set. 
 Question: Which dataset(s) do they experiment with?
[A]:
Extractive
