In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and you have to write an answerable question based on the context. Your questions can be extractive, abstractive, or yes-no questions.

We then proceed to connect these mentions i) if they co-occur within the same document (we will refer to this as DOC-BASED edges), ii) if the pair of named entity mentions is identical (MATCH edges—these may connect nodes across and within documents), or iii) if they are in the same coreference chain, as predicted by the external coreference system (COREF edges).
Did they use a relation extraction method to construct the edges in the graph?

More specifically, we observe the impact of: (i) pre-trained word embeddings BIBREF11, BIBREF12, recurrent BIBREF13 and transformer-based sentence encoders BIBREF14 as question representation strategies; (ii) distinct convolutional neural networks used for visual feature extraction BIBREF15, BIBREF16, BIBREF17; and (iii) standard fusion strategies, as well as the importance of two main attention mechanisms BIBREF18, BIBREF19.
What type of experiments are performed?

We then evaluate the ranks of the target entities $t$ with the commonly used mean rank (MR), mean reciprocal rank (MRR), as well as Hits@1, Hits@3, and Hits@10.

what was the evaluation metrics studied in this work?
