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 choose the following three models as the baselines:

K-means is a well known data clustering algorithm, we implement the algorithm using sklearn toolbox, and represent documents using bag-of-words weighted by TF-IDF.

LEM BIBREF13 is a Bayesian modeling approach for open-domain event extraction. It treats an event as a latent variable and models the generation of an event as a joint distribution of its individual event elements. We implement the algorithm with the default configuration.

DPEMM BIBREF14 is a non-parametric mixture model for event extraction. It addresses the limitation of LEM that the number of events should be known beforehand. We implement the model with the default configuration. 
 Question: What baseline approaches does this approach out-perform?
Extractive

In this study we use transcripts and results of Oxford-style debates from the public debate series “Intelligence Squared Debates” (IQ2 for short). 
 Question: what debates dataset was used?
Extractive

Methodology ::: Corpus-based Approach
Contextual information is informative in the sense that, in general, similar words tend to appear in the same contexts.  In the corpus-based approach, we capture both of these characteristics and generate word embeddings specific to a domain. Methodology ::: Dictionary-based Approach
In Turkish, there do not exist well-established sentiment lexicons as in English. In this approach, we made use of the TDK (Türk Dil Kurumu - “Turkish Language Institution”) dictionary to obtain word polarities. 
 Question: What word-based and dictionary-based feature are used?

Extractive
