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.

Ex Input:
Since the input of our method is textual data, we follow the approach of BIBREF15 and map the text into a fixed-size vector representation. To this end, we use word embeddings that were successfully applied in other domains. We follow BIBREF5 and use pre-trained GloVe word vectors BIBREF16 to initialize the embedding layer (also known as look-up table). Section SECREF18 discusses the embedding layer in more details. 
 Question: Which pretrained word vectors did they use?

Ex Output:
Extractive


Ex Input:
In our setup, our starting point is a base model, trained on NLI data. Rather than employing automated adversarial methods, here the model's “adversary” is a human annotator. Given a context (also often called a “premise” in NLI), and a desired target label, we ask the human writer to provide a hypothesis that fools the model into misclassifying the label. One can think of the writer as a “white hat” hacker, trying to identify vulnerabilities in the system. For each human-generated example that is misclassified, we also ask the writer to provide a reason why they believe it was misclassified. 
 Question: Do they use active learning to create their dataset?

Ex Output:
Yes-no


Ex Input:
In order to represent individual sentences, we insert external [cls] tokens at the start of each sentence, and each [cls] symbol collects features for the sentence preceding it. We also use interval segment embeddings to distinguish multiple sentences within a document. This way, document representations are learned hierarchically where lower Transformer layers represent adjacent sentences, while higher layers, in combination with self-attention, represent multi-sentence discourse. Position embeddings in the original Bert model have a maximum length of 512; we overcome this limitation by adding more position embeddings that are initialized randomly and fine-tuned with other parameters in the encoder. 
 Question: What is novel about their document-level encoder?

Ex Output:

Extractive
