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: We make copies of the monolingual model for each language and add additional crosslingual latent variables (CLVs) to couple the monolingual models, capturing crosslingual semantic role patterns. Concretely, when training on parallel sentences, whenever the head words of the arguments are aligned, we add a CLV as a parent of the two corresponding role variables.
Question: Which additional latent variables are used in the model?

SOLUTION: Extractive

PROBLEM: In this research, we briefly discuss the steps of QA system and compare the performance of seven machine learning based classifiers (Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Gradient Boosting Classifier (GBC), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), K Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) and Random Forest (RF)) in classifying Bengali questions to classes based on their anticipated answers.
Question: what ml based approaches were compared?

SOLUTION: Extractive

PROBLEM: A context is upward entailing (shown by [... $\leavevmode {\color {red!80!black}\uparrow }$ ]) that allows an inference from ( "Introduction" ) to ( "Introduction" ), where French dinner is replaced by a more general concept dinner. On the other hand, a downward entailing context (shown by [... $\leavevmode {\color {blue!80!black}\downarrow }$ ]) allows an inference from ( "Introduction" ) to ( "Introduction" ), where workers is replaced by a more specific concept new workers. All [ workers $\leavevmode {\color {blue!80!black}\downarrow }$ ] [joined for a French dinner $\leavevmode {\color {red!80!black}\uparrow }$ ] All workers joined for a dinner All new workers joined for a French dinner Not all [new workers $\leavevmode {\color {red!80!black}\uparrow }$ ] joined for a dinner Not all workers joined for a dinner
Question: How do they define upward and downward reasoning?

SOLUTION:
Abstractive
