instruction:
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:
 In this task English tweets from conversation threads, each associated to a newsworthy event and the rumours around it, are provided as data. The goal is to determine whether a tweet in the thread is supporting, denying, querying, or commenting the original rumour which started the conversation.  
 Question: Is this an English-language dataset?
answer:
Yes-no


question:
Our novelties include:

Using self-play learning for the neural response ranker (described in detail below).

Optimizing neural models for specific metrics (e.g. diversity, coherence) in our ensemble setup.

Training a separate dialog model for each user, personalizing our socialbot and making it more consistent.

Using a response classification predictor and a response classifier to predict and control aspects of responses such as sentiment, topic, offensiveness, diversity etc.

Using a model predictor to predict the best responding model, before the response candidates are generated, reducing computational expenses.

Using our entropy-based filtering technique to filter all dialog datasets, obtaining higher quality training data BIBREF3.

Building big, pre-trained, hierarchical BERT and GPT dialog models BIBREF6, BIBREF7, BIBREF8.

Constantly monitoring the user input through our automatic metrics, ensuring that the user stays engaged. 
 Question: What is novel in author's approach?
answer:
Abstractive


question:

[noitemsep]

Lexicon Features

Word Vectors

Syntax Features 
 Question: how many total combined features were there?
answer:

Extractive
