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.

Q: We focus primarily on the smaller data set of 645 hand-labeled articles provided to task participants, both for training and for validation.  We pre-trained BERT-base on the 600,000 articles without labels by using the same Cloze task BIBREF5 that BERT had originally used for pre-training. 

A: How long is the dataset?
****
Q: We compare our approaches with related approaches of pivoting, multilingual NMT (MNMT) BIBREF19, and cross-lingual transfer without pretraining BIBREF16.  The results show that our approaches consistently outperform other approaches across languages and datasets, especially surpass pivoting, which is a strong baseline in the zero-shot scenario that multilingual NMT systems often fail to beat BIBREF19, BIBREF20, BIBREF23.

A: which multilingual approaches do they compare with?
****
Q: Although MCDN doesn't obtain the highest precision, it increases F1-score by 10.2% and 3% compared with the existing best systems $LS \cup KLD \cup CONN$ and $KLD \cup LS \cup LS_{inter}$.

A:
What performance did proposed method achieve, how much better is than previous state-of-the-art?
