In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and you have to write an answerable question based on the context. Your questions can be extractive, abstractive, or yes-no questions.

The current release of Katecheo uses a Bi-Directional Attention Flow, or BiDAF, model for reading comprehension BIBREF6 . Future releases of Katecheo will include the ability to swap out the reading comprehension model for newer architectures based on, e.g., BERT BIBREF8 or XLNet BIBREF9 or custom trained models.

Architecture and Configuration
what pretrained models were used?

We collected the dataset with 1900 dialogs and 8533 turns. 
What is the average length of dialog?

We also consider the following baselines. BOW-Tags represents locations using a bag-of-words representation, using the same tag weighting as the embedding model. BOW-KL(Tags) uses the same representation but after term selection, using the same KL-based method as the embedding model. BOW-All combines the bag-of-words representation with the structured information, encoded as proposed in BIBREF7 . GloVe uses the objective from the original GloVe model for learning location vectors, i.e. this variant differs from EGEL-Tags in that instead of INLINEFORM1 we use the number of co-occurrences of tag INLINEFORM2 near location INLINEFORM3 , measured as INLINEFORM4 .
