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.

MTMSN BIBREF4 is the first, and only model so far, that specifically tried to tackle the multi-span questions of DROP. Their approach consisted of two parts. The first was to train a dedicated categorical variable to predict the number of spans to extract. The second was to generalize the single-span head method of extracting a span, by utilizing the non-maximum suppression (NMS) algorithm BIBREF7 to find the most probable set of non-overlapping spans. The number of spans to extract was determined by the aforementioned categorical variable 
 Question: What approach did previous models use for multi-span questions?
Abstractive

Our data has been developed by crawling and pre-processing an OSG web forum. The forum has a great variety of different groups such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship, cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. 
 Question: How did they obtain the OSG dataset?
Extractive

In this study we use transcripts and results of Oxford-style debates from the public debate series “Intelligence Squared Debates” (IQ2 for short). 
 Question: what debates dataset was used?

Extractive
