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.
--------
Question: To create training data for unanswerable question generation, we use (plausible) answer spans in paragraphs as pivots to align pairs of answerable questions and unanswerable questions. In this way, we obtain the data with which the models can learn to ask unanswerable questions by editing answerable ones with word exchanges, negations, etc.

Answer: How do they ensure the generated questions are unanswerable?


Question: Level B categorizes the type of offense and two labels are used: targeted (TIN) and untargeted (INT) insults and threats.

Targeted Insult (TIN): Posts which contain an insult/threat to an individual, group, or others (see next layer);

Untargeted (UNT): Posts containing non-targeted profanity and swearing. Posts with general profanity are not targeted, but they contain non-acceptable language. Level C categorizes the targets of insults and threats as individual (IND), group (GRP), and other (OTH).

Individual (IND): Posts targeting an individual. It can be a a famous person, a named individual or an unnamed participant in the conversation. Insults and threats targeted at individuals are often defined as cyberbulling.

Group (GRP): The target of these offensive posts is a group of people considered as a unity due to the same ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation, political affiliation, religious belief, or other common characteristic. Many of the insults and threats targeted at a group correspond to what is commonly understood as hate speech.

Other (OTH): The target of these offensive posts does not belong to any of the previous two categories (e.g. an organization, a situation, an event, or an issue).

Answer: What kinds of offensive content are explored?


Question: We compared our model with MLE, RL and GAN baselines. Since COCO and EMNLP2017 WMT don't have input while WeiboDial regards posts as input, we chose the following baselines respectively:

MLE: a RNN model trained with MLE objective BIBREF4 . Its extension, Seq2Seq, can work on the dialogue dataset BIBREF2 .

SeqGAN: The first text GAN model that updates the generator with policy gradient based on the rewards from the discriminator BIBREF7 .

LeakGAN: A variant of SeqGAN that provides rewards based on the leaked information of the discriminator for the generator BIBREF11 .

MaliGAN: A variant of SeqGAN that optimizes the generator with a normalized maximum likelihood objective BIBREF8 .

IRL: This inverse reinforcement learning method replaces the discriminator with a reward approximator to provide dense rewards BIBREF12 .

RAML: A RL approach to incorporate MLE objective into RL training framework, which regards BLEU as rewards BIBREF17 .

DialogGAN: An extension of SeqGAN tuned to dialogue generation task with MLE objective added to the adversarial objective BIBREF16 .

DPGAN: A variant of DialogGAN which uses a language model based discriminator and regards cross-entropy as rewards BIBREF13 .

Answer:
What GAN models were used as baselines to compare against?
