TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: The release of the FEVER fact extraction and verification dataset BIBREF0 provides a large-scale challenge that tests a combination of retrieval and textual entailment capabilities. To verify a claim in the dataset as supported, refuted, or undecided, a system must retrieve relevant articles and sentences from Wikipedia. Then it must decide whether each of those sentences, or some combination of them, entails or refutes the claim, which is an entailment problem. Systems are evaluated on the accuracy of the claim predictions, with credit only given when correct evidence is submitted. As entailment data, premises in FEVER data differ substantially from those in the image caption data used as the basis for the Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) BIBREF1 dataset. Sentences are longer (31 compared to 14 words on average), vocabulary is more abstract, and the prevalence of named entities and out-of-vocabulary terms is higher. The retrieval aspect of FEVER is not straightforward either. A claim may have small word overlap with the relevant evidence, especially if the claim is refuted by the evidence.

SOLUTION: What is the FEVER task?

PROBLEM: We evaluate the proposed methods in 8 languages, showing a significant ability to learn from partial data. We additionally experiment with initializing CBL with domain-specific instance-weighting schemes, showing mixed results. In the process, we use weighted variants of popular NER models, showing strong performance in both non-neural and neural settings. Finally, we show experiments in a real-world setting, by employing non-speakers to manually annotate romanized Bengali text. We experiment on 8 languages. Four languages English, German, Spanish, Dutch come from the CoNLL 2002/2003 shared tasks BIBREF21, BIBREF22. These are taken from newswire text, and have labelset of Person, Organization, Location, Miscellaneous.

The remaining four languages come from the LORELEI project BIBREF23. These languages are: Amharic (amh: LDC2016E87), Arabic (ara: LDC2016E89), Hindi (hin: LDC2017E62), and Somali (som: LDC2016E91). These come from a variety of sources including discussion forums, newswire, and social media.

SOLUTION: Which languages are evaluated?

PROBLEM: Datasets
We conduct experiments on two Chinese question answering datasets from NLPCC-2016 evaluation task BIBREF13 . DBQA is a document based question answering dataset. KBRE is a knowledge based relation extraction dataset.

SOLUTION:
Which dataset(s) do they evaluate on?
