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: In the experiments, we compare model performance between GluonCV/NLP and other open source implementations with Caffe, Caffe2, Theano, and TensorFlow, including ResNet BIBREF8 and MobileNet BIBREF9 for image classification (ImageNet), Faster R-CNN BIBREF10 for object detection (COCO), Mask R-CNN BIBREF11 for instance segmentation, Simple Pose BIBREF12 for pose estimation (COCO), textCNN BIBREF13 for sentiment analysis (TREC), and BERT BIBREF14 for question answering (SQuAD 1.1), sentiment analysis (SST-2), natural langauge inference (MNLI-m), and paraphrasing (MRPC).
Question: Do they experiment with the toolkits?

SOLUTION: Yes-no

PROBLEM: In Figure FIGREF28, we show some examples of the annotation results in CORD-19-NER. We can see that our distantly- or weakly supervised methods achieve high quality recognizing the new entity types, requiring only several seed examples as the input. For example, we recognized "SARS-CoV-2" as the "CORONAVIRUS" type, "bat" and "pangolins" as the "WILDLIFE" type and "Van der Waals forces" as the "PHYSICAL_SCIENCE" type. This NER annotation results help downstream text mining tasks in discovering the origin and the physical nature of the virus. Our NER methods are domain-independent that can be applied to corpus in different domains. In addition, we show another example of NER annotation on New York Times with our system in Figure FIGREF29.

In Figure FIGREF30, we show the comparison of our annotation results with existing NER/BioNER systems. In Figure FIGREF30, we can see that only our method can identify "SARS-CoV-2" as a coronavirus. In Figure FIGREF30, we can see that our method can identify many more entities such as "pylogenetic" as a evolution term and "bat" as a wildlife. In Figure FIGREF30, we can also see that our method can identify many more entities such as "racism" as a social behavior. In summary, our distantly- and weakly-supervised NER methods are reliable for high-quality entity recognition without requiring human effort for training data annotation.
Question: Did they experiment with the dataset?

SOLUTION: Yes-no

PROBLEM: Sentence classification combines natural language processing (NLP) with machine learning to identify trends in sentence structure, BIBREF14 , BIBREF15 . Each tweet is converted to a numeric word vector in order to identify distinguishing features by training an NLP classifier on a validated set of relevant tweets. The classifier acts as a tool to sift through ads, news, and comments not related to patients. Our scheme combines a logistic regression classifier, BIBREF16 , with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), BIBREF17 , BIBREF18 , to identify self-reported diagnostic tweets.

It is important to be wary of automated accounts (e.g. bots, spam) whose large output of tweets pollute relevant organic content, BIBREF19 , and can distort sentiment analyses, BIBREF20 . Prior to applying sentence classification, we removed tweets containing hyperlinks to remove automated content (some organic content is necessarily lost with this strict constraint). Twitter allows users to spread content from other users via 'retweets'. We also removed these posts prior to classification to isolate tweets authored by patients. We also accounted for non-relevant astrological content by removing all tweets containing any of the following horoscope indicators: 'astrology','zodiac','astronomy','horoscope','aquarius','pisces','aries','taurus','leo','virgo','libra', and 'scorpio'. We preprocessed tweets by lowercasing and removing punctuation. We also only analyzed tweets for which Twitter had identified 'en' for the language English.
Question: What machine learning and NLP methods were used to sift tweets relevant to breast cancer experiences?

SOLUTION:
Abstractive
