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.

The baseline classifier uses a linear Support Vector Machine BIBREF7 , which is suited for a high number of features.  
 Question: What baseline is used?
Abstractive

GP-GNNs first build a fully-connected graph $\mathcal {G} = (\mathcal {V}, \mathcal {E})$ , where $\mathcal {V}$ is the set of entities, and each edge $(v_i, v_j) \in \mathcal {E}, v_i, v_j \in \mathcal {V}$ corresponds to a sequence $s = x_0^{i,j}, x_1^{i,j}, \dots , x_{l-1}^{i,j}$ extracted from the text.  
 Question: So this paper turns unstructured text inputs to parameters that GNNs can read?
Yes-no

Comparing these topics with those that appeared on a Catholic women forum, it seems that both ISIS and non-violent groups use topics about motherhood, spousal relationship, and marriage/divorce when they address women. Moreover, we used Depechemood methods to analyze the emotions that these materials are likely to elicit in readers. The result of our emotion analysis suggests that both corpuses used words that aim to inspire readers while avoiding fear. However, the actual words that lead to these effects are very different in the two contexts. Overall, our findings indicate that, using proper methods, automated analysis of large bodies of textual data can provide novel insight insight into extremist propaganda that can assist the counterterrorism community. 
 Question: What conclusions do the authors draw from their finding that the emotional appeal of ISIS and Catholic materials are similar?

Extractive
