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.

In this section we discuss the state of the art on conversational systems in three perspectives: types of interactions, types of architecture, and types of context reasoning. ELIZA BIBREF11 was one of the first softwares created to understand natural language processing.  Right after ELIZA came PARRY, developed by Kenneth Colby, who is psychiatrist at Stanford University in the early 1970s. A.L.I.C.E. (Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity) BIBREF12 appeared in 1995 but current version utilizes AIML, an XML language designed for creating stimulus-response chat robots BIBREF13 . Cleverbot (1997-2014) is a chatbot developed by the British AI scientist Rollo Carpenter.  
 Question: What is the state of the art described in the paper?
Extractive

N-grams, POS, Hierarchical features: A baseline bag-of-words model incorporating both tagged and untagged unigrams and bigams.  CNN: Kim BIBREF28 demonstrated near state-of-the-art performance on a number of sentence classification tasks (including TREC question classification) by using pre-trained word embeddings BIBREF40 as feature extractors in a CNN model. 
 Question: What previous methods is their model compared to?
Extractive

Our attempt at language pre-training fell short of our expectations in all but one tested dataset. Our pre-training was unsuccessful in improving accuracy, even when applied to networks larger than those reported. 
 Question: Does pre-training on general text corpus improve performance?

Yes-no
