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.

Active learning methods can generally be described into two parts: a learning engine and a selection engine BIBREF28 . The learning engine is essentially a classifier, which is mainly used for training of classification problems. The selection engine is based on the sampling strategy, which chooses samples that need to be relabeled by annotators from unlabeled data. Then, relabeled samples are added to training set for classifier to re-train, thus continuously improving the accuracy of the classifier. In this paper, a CRF-based segmenter and a scoring model are employed as learning engine and selection engine, respectively. 
 Question: How does the active learning model work?
Abstractive

CoVoST is currently built on that release and covers the following 11 languages: French, German, Dutch, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Persian, Swedish, Mongolian and Chinese.

We compare our approach to two other, the first one uses almost the same tweet data as we use for training, and the second one is the CrowdFlower dataset annotated for emotions. In the first one Wang et al. BIBREF21 downloaded over 5M tweets which included one of 131 emotional hashtags based on Parrott's three-level categorization of emotions in seven categories: joy, sadness, anger, love, fear, thankfulness, surprise.  
 Question: What data is used in experiments?

Extractive
