TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: Conditional Random Fields
Conditional Random Fields (CRF) BIBREF10 are a standard approach when dealing with sequential data in the context of sequence labeling. BiLSTM-CRF
Prior to the emergence of deep neural language models, BiLSTM-CRF models BIBREF11 had achieved state-of-the-art results for the task of sequence labeling. Multi-Task Learning
Multi-Task Learning (MTL) BIBREF15 has become popular with the progress in deep learning. BioBERT
Deep neural language models have recently evolved to a successful method for representing text. In particular, Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) outperformed previous state-of-the-art methods by a large margin on various NLP tasks BIBREF17.

SOLUTION: What baseline systems are proposed?

PROBLEM: We deployed the task on Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT). To see how reasoning varies across workers, we hire 3 crowdworkers per one instance. We hire reliable crowdworkers with $\ge 5,000$ HITs experiences and an approval rate of $\ge $ 99.0%, and pay ¢20 as a reward per instance.

SOLUTION: Did they use any crowdsourcing platform?

PROBLEM: Wikilinks can be seen as a large-scale, naturally-occurring, crowd-sourced dataset where thousands of human annotators provide ground truths for mentions of interest. This means that the dataset contains various kinds of noise, especially due to incoherent contexts. We prepare our dataset from the local-context version of Wikilinks, and resolve ground-truth links using a Wikipedia dump from April 2016. We use the page and redirect tables for resolution, and keep the database pageid column as a unique identifier for Wikipedia entities. We discard mentions where the ground-truth could not be resolved (only 3% of mentions).

SOLUTION:
How was a quality control performed so that the text is noisy but the annotations are accurate?
