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.

[Q]: There are several caveats in our work: first, tweet sentiment is rarely binary (this work could be extended to a multinomial or continuous model). Second, our results are constrained to Twitter users, who are known to be more negative than the general U.S. population BIBREF9 . Third, we do not take into account the aggregate effects of continued natural disasters over time. Going forward, there is clear demand in discovering whether social networks can indicate environmental metrics in a “nowcasting" fashion. As climate change becomes more extreme, it remains to be seen what degree of predictive power exists in our current model regarding climate change sentiments with regards to natural disasters. 
 Question: Do the authors mention any confounds to their study?
[A]: Yes-no


[Q]: We compare our method to the following baselines: (1) Single-task CNN: training a CNN model for each task individually; (2) Single-task FastText: training one FastText model BIBREF23 with fixed embeddings for each individual task; (3) Fine-tuned the holistic MTL-CNN: a standard transfer-learning approach, which trains one MTL-CNN model on all the training tasks offline, then fine-tunes the classifier layer (i.e. $\mathrm {M}^{(cls)}$ Figure 1 (a)) on each target task; (4) Matching Network: a metric-learning based few-shot learning model trained on all training tasks; (5) Prototypical Network: a variation of matching network with different prediction function as Eq. 9 ; (6) Convex combining all single-task models: training one CNN classifier on each meta-training task individually and taking the encoder, then for each target task training a linear combination of all the above single-task encoders with Eq. ( 24 ).  
 Question: Do they compare with the MAML algorithm?
[A]: Yes-no


[Q]: We compare the SBERT sentence embeddings to other sentence embeddings methods on the following seven SentEval transfer tasks:

MR: Sentiment prediction for movie reviews snippets on a five start scale BIBREF25.

CR: Sentiment prediction of customer product reviews BIBREF26.

SUBJ: Subjectivity prediction of sentences from movie reviews and plot summaries BIBREF27.

MPQA: Phrase level opinion polarity classification from newswire BIBREF28.

SST: Stanford Sentiment Treebank with binary labels BIBREF29.

TREC: Fine grained question-type classification from TREC BIBREF30.

MRPC: Microsoft Research Paraphrase Corpus from parallel news sources BIBREF31. 
 Question: What transfer learning tasks are evaluated?
[A]:
Extractive
