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.

Following the formula, we can calculate the contribution of every input word makes to every output word, forming a contribution matrix of size $M \times N$, where $N$ is the output sentence length. Given the contribution matrix, we can obtain the word importance of each input word to the entire output sentence. To this end, for each input word, we first aggregate its contribution values to all output words by the sum operation, and then normalize all sums through the Softmax function. 
 Question: How do their models decide how much improtance to give to the output words?
Extractive

One common point in all the approaches yet has been the use of only textual features available in the dataset. Our model not only incorporates textual features, modeled using BiLSTM and augmented with an attention mechanism, but also considers related images for the task. 
 Question: What are the differences with previous applications of neural networks for this task?
Abstractive

The behavior model was implemented using an RNN with LSTM units and trained with the Couples Therapy Corpus. Out of the 33 behavioral codes included in the corpus we applied the behaviors Acceptance, Blame, Negativity, Positivity, and Sadness to train our models. This is motivated from previous works which showed good separability in these behaviors as well as being easy to interpret. The behavior model is pre-trained to identify the presence of each behavior from a sequence of words using a multi-label classification scheme. The pre-trained portion of the behavior model was implemented using a single layer RNN with LSTM units with dimension size 50. 
 Question: How is module that analyzes behavioral state trained?

Abstractive
