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.

We focus on social media posts from the website Twitter, which are an excellent testing ground for character based models due to the noisy nature of text. Heavy use of slang and abundant misspellings means that there are many orthographically and semantically similar tokens, and special characters such as emojis are also immensely popular and carry useful semantic information. In our moderately sized training dataset of 2 million tweets, there were about 0.92 million unique word types. 
 Question: Does the paper clearly establish that the challenges listed here exist in this dataset and task?
Yes-no

jiant provides support for cutting-edge sentence encoder models, including support for Huggingface's Transformers. Supported models include: BERT BIBREF17, RoBERTa BIBREF27, XLNet BIBREF28, XLM BIBREF29, GPT BIBREF30, GPT-2 BIBREF31, ALBERT BIBREF32 and ELMo BIBREF33. jiant also supports the from-scratch training of (bidirectional) LSTMs BIBREF34 and deep bag of words models BIBREF35, as well as syntax-aware models such as PRPN BIBREF36 and ON-LSTM BIBREF37. jiant also supports word embeddings such as GloVe BIBREF38. 
 Question: Is jiant compatible with models in any programming language?
Yes-no

N-GrAM ranked first in all cases except for the language variety task. In this case, the baseline was the top-ranked system, and ours was second by a small margin. Our system significantly out-performed the baseline on the joint task, as the baseline scored significantly lower for the gender task than for the variety task.

 
 Question: On which task does do model do worst?

Abstractive
