TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: An important feature when suggesting an article INLINEFORM0 to an entity INLINEFORM1 is the novelty of INLINEFORM2 w.r.t the already existing entity profile INLINEFORM3 Given an entity INLINEFORM0 and the already added news references INLINEFORM1 up to year INLINEFORM2 , the novelty of INLINEFORM3 at year INLINEFORM4 is measured by the KL divergence between the language model of INLINEFORM5 and articles in INLINEFORM6 . We combine this measure with the entity overlap of INLINEFORM7 and INLINEFORM8 . The novelty value of INLINEFORM9 is given by the minimal divergence value. Low scores indicate low novelty for the entity profile INLINEFORM10 .

 
 Question: What features are used to represent the novelty of news articles to entity pages?

SOLUTION: Abstractive

PROBLEM: The evaluation results are quite favorable for both targets and particularly higher for Target-1, considering the fact that they are the initial experiments on the data set. 
 Question: Which SVM approach resulted in the best performance?

SOLUTION: Extractive

PROBLEM: Also, note that the performance for this task is not expected to achieve a perfect accuracy, as there may be situations where more than one action is reasonable, and also because writers tell a story playing with elements such as surprise or uncertainty. 
 Question: Why do they think this task is hard?  What is the baseline performance?

SOLUTION:
Abstractive
