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.

Question: Since the training data consists only of utterance-denotation pairs, the ranker is trained to maximize the log-likelihood of the correct answer $z$ by treating logical forms as a latent variable The role of the ranker is to score the candidate logical forms generated by the parser; at test time, the logical form receiving the highest score will be used for execution. The ranker is a discriminative log-linear model over logical form $y$ given utterance $x$ :  
 Question: How does the model compute the likelihood of executing to the correction semantic denotation?

Answer: Abstractive


Question: In this experiment, we compare our Enitity-GCN against recent prior work on the same task. We present test and development results (when present) for both versions of the dataset in Table 2 . From BIBREF0 , we list an oracle based on human performance as well as two standard reading comprehension models, namely BiDAF BIBREF3 and FastQA BIBREF6 . We also compare against Coref-GRU BIBREF12 , MHPGM BIBREF11 , and Weaver BIBREF10 . Additionally, we include results of MHQA-GRN BIBREF23 , from a recent arXiv preprint describing concurrent work. They jointly train graph neural networks and recurrent encoders. We report single runs of our two best single models and an ensemble one on the unmasked test set (recall that the test set is not publicly available and the task organizers only report unmasked results) as well as both versions of the validation set. 
 Question: What baseline did they compare Entity-GCN to?

Answer: Abstractive


Question: We see that parent quality is a simple yet effective feature and SVM model with this feature can achieve significantly higher ($p<0.001$) F1 score ($46.61\%$) than distance from the thesis and linguistic features. Although the BiLSTM model with attention and FastText baselines performs better than the SVM with distance from the thesis and linguistic features, it has similar performance to the parent quality baseline. We find that the flat representation of the context achieves the highest F1 score. It may be more difficult for the models with a larger number of parameters to perform better than the flat representation since the dataset is small. We also observe that modeling 3 claims on the argument path before the target claim achieves the best F1 score ($55.98\%$). 
 Question: How better are results compared to baseline models?

Answer:
Abstractive
