You will be given a definition of a task first, then some input of the task.
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.

We will compare to the more recent cross-lingual language model XLM BIBREF12, as well as the state-of-the-art CoNLL 2018 shared task results with predicted tokenisation and segmentation in an updated version of the paper. In French, no extensive work has been done due to the limited availability of NER corpora. We compare our model with the strong baselines settled by BIBREF49, who trained both CRF and BiLSTM-CRF architectures on the FTB and enhanced them using heuristics and pretrained word embeddings. In the TRANSLATE-TRAIN setting, we report the best scores from previous literature along with ours. BiLSTM-max is the best model in the original XNLI paper, mBERT which has been reported in French in BIBREF52 and XLM (MLM+TLM) is the best-presented model from BIBREF50.
Question: What is the state of the art?
Output:
Abstractive
