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.

[EX Q]: One of the major drawbacks of SCRF models is their high computational cost. In our experiments, the CTC model is around 3-4 times faster than the SRNN model that uses the same RNN encoder. To cut down the computational cost, we investigated if CTC can be used to pretrain the RNN encoder to speed up the training of the joint model. Figure 2 shows the convergence curves of the joint model with and without CTC pretraining, and we see pretraining indeed improves the convergence speed of the joint model. 
 Question: Can SCRF be used to pretrain the model?
[EX A]: Yes-no

[EX Q]: The key idea behind our proposed interactive MRC (iMRC) is to restrict the document context that a model observes at one time. Concretely, we split a supporting document into its component sentences and withhold these sentences from the model. Given a question, the model must issue commands to observe sentences in the withheld set; we equip models with actions such as Ctrl+F (search for token) and stop for searching through partially observed documents. A model searches iteratively, conditioning each command on the input question and the sentences it has observed previously. Thus, our task requires models to `feed themselves' rather than spoon-feeding them with information. This casts MRC as a sequential decision-making problem amenable to reinforcement learning (RL). 
 Question: Do they provide decision sequences as supervision while training models?
[EX A]: Yes-no

[EX Q]: Eventually, we have a balanced testing dataset, where each term-sense pair has around 15 samples for testing (on average, each pair has 14.56 samples and the median sample number is 15), and a comparison with training dataset is shown in Figure FIGREF11. Due to the difficulty for collecting the testing dataset, we decided to only collect for a random selection of 30 terms.  
 Question: How big is dataset for testing?
[EX A]:
Abstractive
