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.

In the multiple-choice setting, which is the variety of question-answering (QA) that we focus on in this paper, there is also pragmatic reasoning involved in selecting optimal answer choices (e.g., while greenhouse effect might in some other context be a reasonable answer to the second question in Figure FIGREF1, global warming is a preferable candidate).
Question: Do they focus on Reading Comprehension or multiple choice question answering?
Abstractive

In Table TABREF1, we summarize the quantitative results of the above previous studies. It includes the model basis, feature description, languages classified and the used dataset along with accuracy obtained. The table also lists the overall results of our proposed models (at the top). The languages used by various authors along with their acronyms are English (En), Spanish (Es), French (Fr), German (De), Russian (Ru), Italian (It), Bengali (Ben), Hindi (Hi) and Telegu (Tel).
Question: Is the performance compared against a baseline model?
Yes-no

We defined the reward as being 1 for successfully completing the task, and 0 otherwise. A discount of $0.95$ was used to incentivize the system to complete dialogs faster rather than slower, yielding return 0 for failed dialogs, and $G = 0.95^{T-1}$ for successful dialogs, where $T$ is the number of system turns in the dialog. 0.95^{T-1} reward 0.95^{T-1}
Question: What is the reward model for the reinforcement learning appraoch?
Abstractive
