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.

Then, we created test sets with varying levels of perturbation operations - $\lbrace 20\%,40\%,60\%\rbrace $. 
 Question: Are recurrent neural networks trained on perturbed data?
Yes-no

To counter that, we use a left-to-right attention mask, similar to the one employed in the original Transformer decoder BIBREF1. For the input tokens in $X$, we apply such mask to all the target tokens $Y$ that were concatenated to $X$, so that input tokens can only attend to the other input tokens. Conversely, for target tokens $y_t$, we put an attention mask on all tokens $y_{>t}$, allowing target tokens $y_t$ to attend only to the input tokens and the already generated target tokens. 
 Question: What is different in BERT-gen from standard BERT?
Abstractive

Our conversational agent uses two architectures to simulate a specialized reminiscence therapist. The block in charge of generating questions is based on the work Show, Attend and Tell BIBREF13. This work generates descriptions from pictures, also known as image captioning. 
 Question: Is machine learning system underneath similar to image caption ML systems?

Yes-no
