The Earth monitoring competition Copernicus Masters aims to support the development of market-oriented applications based on Earth observation data. In 2017, the Copernicus Masters is again enriched by the Copernicus Accelerator, a European Commission programme. Through this initiative, the 50 best finalists of the Copernicus Masters, selected by an international expert panel will automatically be granted access to a business coaching scheme provided by high-level professionals, that will act as mentors. To actively participate in the Copernicus Accelerator programme, Mentor commits to the following Non-Disclosure-Agreement and Terms of Participation. 1 Eligibility Mentor is a resident of one of the Copernicus participating countries1 or is employed with a legal identity registered in the territory of one of the Copernicus participating countries, willing to support and help develop the Ideas of the finalists of the Copernicus Masters 2017 (hereinafter “Participants”). Professionals who pursue becoming mentors need to apply via the dedicated platform, inserting all required details, which can be edited anytime by Mentor. Their request needs to be validated by the Organiser and the European Commission, who can refuse participation in case of non-eligibility or conflict of interest. After verification of all details entered, the Organiser will notify the Mentor about the outcome of his/her submission. Even after validation, the Organiser cannot guarantee that there will be an actual match between Mentor and Participants. Mentor confirms that Mentor has not been involved in the development of any of the Ideas to be coached at any stage and that Mentor has no personal or commercial connection to any Participant of the Copernicus Accelerator that would influence an objective development of Ideas. 1 The Copernicus Participating countries include all the EU Member States, in addition to Norway and Iceland. 2 Procedure and Terms of Participation The Copernicus Accelerator programme is comprised of different phases, for a total coaching support of approximately one year, aimed at helping Participants´ Ideas achieving measurable results. When submitting the request to become Mentor, Mentor needs to specify in which fields he/she can support Participants, in order to allow a suitable matchmaking with the requests and needs communicated by Participants. When a Mentor is requested by a Participant of the programme, he/she can access the Participant's profile and examine the submitted idea, in order to decide whether to confirm the request or not. Mentors can only advise up to two participants. Mentors will meet the Participants at the Accelerator Bootcamp, that will take place in line with the Awards Ceremony of the Copernicus Masters, the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC), and the accompanying Satellite Masters Conference from 6 - 8 November 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. Mentor´s participation to this event is mandatory, as it will set forth the official start of their relationship: Mentor and Participants will begin developing a coaching plan together, that will include objectives and KPIs of their affiliation. Monthly virtual interactions need to be planned by Mentor, to ensure a continuous acceleration of the Participants Ideas´ towards business maturity. A mid-term review and survey will be required by April 2018, to evaluate progress made and ensure that the recommendations of the coaching plan are currently implemented by Participants. In case of a non-positive matching or non-compliance to his/her assigned duties (having monthly interactions with the mentees, keeping contacts with the Copernicus Accelerator team, promptly informing the organizers about any relevant issue connected to the coaching relationship), Mentor may be replaced by a more suitable candidate for the Participants´ needs. Mentor will actively support Participants until July 2018, and will then submit a final report together, detailing the outcome of the coaching experience. The Organiser will continuously monitor all relationships, in order to assist both parties and guarantee a positive outcome of the programme. Mentor needs to deliver all requested reports and schedule all requested meetings. The Organiser will provide Mentor with templates for the documents to be produced. Mentors and Participants will meet again at the closing bootcamp, held in October/November 2018, that will official seal the closing of their mentoring relationship. At the end of the coaching service, Mentor will fill in a questionnaire on the coaching service and the overall experience and will also be subject to a specific questionnaire compiled by Participants. 3 Payment The Organiser will reimburse Mentor the travel arrangements and accommodation for the Acceleration Bootcamp in Tallinn in 2017 (a maximum of EUR 800) and the closing bootcamp in 2018 (a maximum of EUR 700). The coaching service provided by Mentor is worth a maximum fee of EUR 5,000 (VAT excluded) per Participant coached, that will be remunerated to Mentor at the end of the programme, after the submission and approval of the final summary report of the coaching relationships. Payment shall be made within 30 days from the receipt of invoice, and following the invoice verification by Organiser. No deductions will be made from the gross fees paid to mentor who shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all and any Government taxes and other deductions are paid by him/her. 4 Definition of Confidential Information “Confidential Information” means any Idea disclosed to Mentor, all data and information, know-how, business concepts, software, procedures, products, services, development projects, and programmes contained in such Idea and/or its description and any conclusions. Confidential Information does not include: > information already known or independently developed by Mentor prior to the disclosure of any Idea; > information already in the public domain through no wrongful act of Mentor; or > information received from a third party who was free to disclose such information. In case of doubt any information is deemed to be Confidential Information unless Mentor proves that such information is not confidential. 5 Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information / Obligations of Mentor Mentor shall not use any Confidential Information for any purpose except to review, assess and help develop the Participants´ Ideas. Mentor shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party or to Mentor’s employees and/or employer without the prior written consent of the Participants. Mentor shall require his/her employees who will have access to Confidential Information to commit to a non-disclosure agreement that protects the Confidential Information to at least the same degree as this Agreement. Mentor shall take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of, and avoid any unauthorised disclosure or use of Confidential Information. Such measures shall include the highest degree of care that Mentor utilises to protect Mentor’s own confidential information of a similar nature, but no less than reasonable care. Notwithstanding Mentor’s right to assess and rate the Ideas of the Participants, Mentor shall not use the Confidential information for his/her own or third parties purposes and shall not file for any intellectual property right protection for the Confidential Information or parts of it. Mentor shall notify Organiser immediately in writing of any misuse or misappropriation of any Confidential Information that may come to Mentor’s attention. Mentor agrees to segregate all Confidential Information relating to this agreement from Confidential Information of others to avoid commingling. 6 Discontinuation of Use, Return of Materials At Organiser’s first request, Mentor shall: (a) discontinue all use of Confidential Information; (b) return to Organiser and/or Participants all materials furnished by Organiser and/or Participants that contain Confidential Information; (c) destroy any copy and all materials produced by and under control of Organiser and/or Participants that contain Confidential Information; (d) erase and/or destroy any Confidential Information contained in computer memory or data storage apparatus of, under control of or used by Mentor; (e) remove the Confidential Information from any software or data base of, under control of/or used by Mentor that incorporates or uses the Confidential Information in whole or in part; and (f) warrant in writing to Organiser, within ten (10) days after Organiser’s request, that Mentor has taken all actions set out under (a) through (e) in this Clause 4. 7 Notice of Required Disclosure If Mentor is required by mandatory, non-appealable judicial or administrative process and/or order to disclose Confidential Information, then Mentor shall promptly notify Organiser and allow Organiser and the Participants reasonable time to oppose such process unless this is not admissible under a mandatory law, judicial or administrative order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mentor shall disclose Confidential Information only to the minimum extent required to comply with such order. 8 Proprietary Rights, Limited Right to Use Any and all proprietary rights, including but not limited to rights to and in inventions, patent rights, utility models, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, in and to any Confidential Information shall be and remain with the Participants respectively, and Mentor shall not have any right, license, title or interest in or to any Confidential Information, except the limited right to review, assess and help develop such Confidential Information in connection with the Copernicus Accelerator 2017. 9 Term This Agreement shall be effective as of 2 May 2017 and may not be terminated except for important cause. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, any Confidential Information must be kept confidential for as long as such Confidential Information is not publicly known unless it becomes part of the public domain through no wrongful act of Mentor. This agreement may not be changed or modified, except by an agreement in writing, signed by both parties. 10 Governing Law This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by the material laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. 11 Jurisdiction The place of jurisdiction for any and all legal disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement is Munich (Landgericht München I).

The Earth monitoring competition Copernicus Masters aims to support the development of market-oriented applications based on Earth observation data. In 2017, the Copernicus Masters is again enriched by the Copernicus Accelerator, a European Commission programme. Through this initiative, the 50 best finalists of the Copernicus Masters, selected by an international expert panel will automatically be granted access to a business coaching scheme provided by high-level professionals, that will act as mentors. To actively participate in the Copernicus Accelerator programme, Mentor commits to the following Non-Disclosure-Agreement and Terms of Participation. 1 Eligibility Mentor is a resident of one of the Copernicus participating countries1 or is employed with a legal identity registered in the territory of one of the Copernicus participating countries, willing to support and help develop the Ideas of the finalists of the Copernicus Masters 2017 (hereinafter “Participants”). Professionals who pursue becoming mentors need to apply via the dedicated platform, inserting all required details, which can be edited anytime by Mentor. Their request needs to be validated by the Organiser and the European Commission, who can refuse participation in case of non-eligibility or conflict of interest. After verification of all details entered, the Organiser will notify the Mentor about the outcome of his/her submission. Even after validation, the Organiser cannot guarantee that there will be an actual match between Mentor and Participants. Mentor confirms that Mentor has not been involved in the development of any of the Ideas to be coached at any stage and that Mentor has no personal or commercial connection to any Participant of the Copernicus Accelerator that would influence an objective development of Ideas. 1 The Copernicus Participating countries include all the EU Member States, in addition to Norway and Iceland. 2 Procedure and Terms of Participation The Copernicus Accelerator programme is comprised of different phases, for a total coaching support of approximately one year, aimed at helping Participants´ Ideas achieving measurable results. When submitting the request to become Mentor, Mentor needs to specify in which fields he/she can support Participants, in order to allow a suitable matchmaking with the requests and needs communicated by Participants. When a Mentor is requested by a Participant of the programme, he/she can access the Participant's profile and examine the submitted idea, in order to decide whether to confirm the request or not. Mentors can only advise up to two participants. Mentors will meet the Participants at the Accelerator Bootcamp, that will take place in line with the Awards Ceremony of the Copernicus Masters, the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC), and the accompanying Satellite Masters Conference from 6 - 8 November 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. Mentor´s participation to this event is mandatory, as it will set forth the official start of their relationship: Mentor and Participants will begin developing a coaching plan together, that will include objectives and KPIs of their affiliation. Monthly virtual interactions need to be planned by Mentor, to ensure a continuous acceleration of the Participants Ideas´ towards business maturity. A mid-term review and survey will be required by April 2018, to evaluate progress made and ensure that the recommendations of the coaching plan are currently implemented by Participants. In case of a non-positive matching or non-compliance to his/her assigned duties (having monthly interactions with the mentees, keeping contacts with the Copernicus Accelerator team, promptly informing the organizers about any relevant issue connected to the coaching relationship), Mentor may be replaced by a more suitable candidate for the Participants´ needs. Mentor will actively support Participants until July 2018, and will then submit a final report together, detailing the outcome of the coaching experience. The Organiser will continuously monitor all relationships, in order to assist both parties and guarantee a positive outcome of the programme. Mentor needs to deliver all requested reports and schedule all requested meetings. The Organiser will provide Mentor with templates for the documents to be produced. Mentors and Participants will meet again at the closing bootcamp, held in October/November 2018, that will official seal the closing of their mentoring relationship. At the end of the coaching service, Mentor will fill in a questionnaire on the coaching service and the overall experience and will also be subject to a specific questionnaire compiled by Participants. 3 Payment The Organiser will reimburse Mentor the travel arrangements and accommodation for the Acceleration Bootcamp in Tallinn in 2017 (a maximum of EUR 800) and the closing bootcamp in 2018 (a maximum of EUR 700). The coaching service provided by Mentor is worth a maximum fee of EUR 5,000 (VAT excluded) per Participant coached, that will be remunerated to Mentor at the end of the programme, after the submission and approval of the final summary report of the coaching relationships. Payment shall be made within 30 days from the receipt of invoice, and following the invoice verification by Organiser. No deductions will be made from the gross fees paid to mentor who shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all and any Government taxes and other deductions are paid by him/her. 4 Definition of Confidential Information “Confidential Information” means any Idea disclosed to Mentor, all data and information, know-how, business concepts, software, procedures, products, services, development projects, and programmes contained in such Idea and/or its description and any conclusions. Confidential Information does not include: > information already known or independently developed by Mentor prior to the disclosure of any Idea; > information already in the public domain through no wrongful act of Mentor; or > information received from a third party who was free to disclose such information. In case of doubt any information is deemed to be Confidential Information unless Mentor proves that such information is not confidential. 5 Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information / Obligations of Mentor Mentor shall not use any Confidential Information for any purpose except to review, assess and help develop the Participants´ Ideas. Mentor shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party or to Mentor’s employees and/or employer without the prior written consent of the Participants. Mentor shall require his/her employees who will have access to Confidential Information to commit to a non-disclosure agreement that protects the Confidential Information to at least the same degree as this Agreement. Mentor shall take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of, and avoid any unauthorised disclosure or use of Confidential Information. Such measures shall include the highest degree of care that Mentor utilises to protect Mentor’s own confidential information of a similar nature, but no less than reasonable care. Notwithstanding Mentor’s right to assess and rate the Ideas of the Participants, Mentor shall not use the Confidential information for his/her own or third parties purposes and shall not file for any intellectual property right protection for the Confidential Information or parts of it. Mentor shall notify Organiser immediately in writing of any misuse or misappropriation of any Confidential Information that may come to Mentor’s attention. Mentor agrees to segregate all Confidential Information relating to this agreement from Confidential Information of others to avoid commingling. 6 Discontinuation of Use, Return of Materials At Organiser’s first request, Mentor shall: (a) discontinue all use of Confidential Information; (b) return to Organiser and/or Participants all materials furnished by Organiser and/or Participants that contain Confidential Information; (c) destroy any copy and all materials produced by and under control of Organiser and/or Participants that contain Confidential Information; (d) erase and/or destroy any Confidential Information contained in computer memory or data storage apparatus of, under control of or used by Mentor; (e) remove the Confidential Information from any software or data base of, under control of/or used by Mentor that incorporates or uses the Confidential Information in whole or in part; and (f) warrant in writing to Organiser, within ten (10) days after Organiser’s request, that Mentor has taken all actions set out under (a) through (e) in this Clause 4. 7 Notice of Required Disclosure If Mentor is required by mandatory, non-appealable judicial or administrative process and/or order to disclose Confidential Information, then Mentor shall promptly notify Organiser and allow Organiser and the Participants reasonable time to oppose such process unless this is not admissible under a mandatory law, judicial or administrative order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mentor shall disclose Confidential Information only to the minimum extent required to comply with such order. 8 Proprietary Rights, Limited Right to Use Any and all proprietary rights, including but not limited to rights to and in inventions, patent rights, utility models, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, in and to any Confidential Information shall be and remain with the Participants respectively, and Mentor shall not have any right, license, title or interest in or to any Confidential Information, except the limited right to review, assess and help develop such Confidential Information in connection with the Copernicus Accelerator 2017. 9 Term This Agreement shall be effective as of 2 May 2017 and may not be terminated except for important cause. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, any Confidential Information must be kept confidential for as long as such Confidential Information is not publicly known unless it becomes part of the public domain through no wrongful act of Mentor. This agreement may not be changed or modified, except by an agreement in writing, signed by both parties. 10 Governing Law This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by the material laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. 11 Jurisdiction The place of jurisdiction for any and all legal disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement is Munich (Landgericht München I). Imperative places of jurisdiction under German Law shall remain unaffected by the foregoing. 12 Notification of Unauthorised Use Mentor shall notify Organiser immediately upon discovery of any unauthorised use or disclosure of Confidential Information or any other breach of this Agreement by Mentor, and will cooperate with Organiser in every reasonable way to help Organiser regain possession of the Confidential Information and prevent its further unauthorised use or publication. 13 Remedies Mentor acknowledges that his/her obligations under this Agreement are necessary and reasonable in order to protect the Ideas and the Confidential Information.

Dataset Card for SCROLLS

Overview

This dataset is based on the SCROLLS dataset (paper), the SQuAD 1.1 dataset and the HotpotQA dataset. It doesn't contain any unpblished data, but includes the configuration needed for the Efficient Long-Text Understanding with Short-Text Models paper.

Tasks

The tasks included are:

GovReport (Huang et al., 2021)

GovReport is a summarization dataset of reports addressing various national policy issues published by the Congressional Research Service and the U.S. Government Accountability Office, where each document is paired with a hand-written executive summary. The reports and their summaries are longer than their equivalents in other popular long-document summarization datasets; for example, GovReport's documents are approximately 1.5 and 2.5 times longer than the documents in Arxiv and PubMed, respectively.

SummScreenFD (Chen et al., 2021)

SummScreenFD is a summarization dataset in the domain of TV shows (e.g. Friends, Game of Thrones). Given a transcript of a specific episode, the goal is to produce the episode's recap. The original dataset is divided into two complementary subsets, based on the source of its community contributed transcripts. For SCROLLS, we use the ForeverDreaming (FD) subset, as it incorporates 88 different shows, making it a more diverse alternative to the TV MegaSite (TMS) subset, which has only 10 shows. Community-authored recaps for the ForeverDreaming transcripts were collected from English Wikipedia and TVMaze.

QMSum (Zhong et al., 2021)

QMSum is a query-based summarization dataset, consisting of 232 meetings transcripts from multiple domains. The corpus covers academic group meetings at the International Computer Science Institute and their summaries, industrial product meetings for designing a remote control, and committee meetings of the Welsh and Canadian Parliaments, dealing with a variety of public policy issues. Annotators were tasked with writing queries about the broad contents of the meetings, as well as specific questions about certain topics or decisions, while ensuring that the relevant text for answering each query spans at least 200 words or 10 turns.

NarrativeQA (Kočiský et al., 2021)

NarrativeQA (Kočiský et al., 2021) is an established question answering dataset over entire books from Project Gutenberg and movie scripts from different websites. Annotators were given summaries of the books and scripts obtained from Wikipedia, and asked to generate question-answer pairs, resulting in about 30 questions and answers for each of the 1,567 books and scripts. They were encouraged to use their own words rather then copying, and avoid asking yes/no questions or ones about the cast. Each question was then answered by an additional annotator, providing each question with two reference answers (unless both answers are identical).

Qasper (Dasigi et al., 2021)

Qasper is a question answering dataset over NLP papers filtered from the Semantic Scholar Open Research Corpus (S2ORC). Questions were written by NLP practitioners after reading only the title and abstract of the papers, while another set of NLP practitioners annotated the answers given the entire document. Qasper contains abstractive, extractive, and yes/no questions, as well as unanswerable ones.

QuALITY (Pang et al., 2021)

QuALITY is a multiple-choice question answering dataset over articles and stories sourced from Project Gutenberg, the Open American National Corpus, and more. Experienced writers wrote questions and distractors, and were incentivized to write answerable, unambiguous questions such that in order to correctly answer them, human annotators must read large portions of the given document. Reference answers were then calculated using the majority vote between of the annotators and writer's answers. To measure the difficulty of their questions, Pang et al. conducted a speed validation process, where another set of annotators were asked to answer questions given only a short period of time to skim through the document. As a result, 50% of the questions in QuALITY are labeled as hard, i.e. the majority of the annotators in the speed validation setting chose the wrong answer.

ContractNLI (Koreeda and Manning, 2021)

Contract NLI is a natural language inference dataset in the legal domain. Given a non-disclosure agreement (the premise), the task is to predict whether a particular legal statement (the hypothesis) is entailed, not entailed (neutral), or cannot be entailed (contradiction) from the contract. The NDAs were manually picked after simple filtering from the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (EDGAR) and Google. The dataset contains a total of 607 contracts and 17 unique hypotheses, which were combined to produce the dataset's 10,319 examples.

SQuAD 1.1 (Rajpurkar et al., 2016)

Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) is a reading comprehension
dataset, consisting of questions posed by crowdworkers on a set of Wikipedia
articles, where the answer to every question is a segment of text, or span,
from the corresponding reading passage, or the question might be unanswerable.

HotpotQA (Yang et al., 2018)

HotpotQA is a new dataset with 113k Wikipedia-based question-answer pairs with four key features: (1) the questions require finding and reasoning over multiple supporting documents to answer; (2) the questions are diverse and not constrained to any pre-existing knowledge bases or knowledge schemas; (3) we provide sentence-level supporting facts required for reasoning, allowingQA systems to reason with strong supervisionand explain the predictions; (4) we offer a new type of factoid comparison questions to testQA systems’ ability to extract relevant facts and perform necessary comparison.

Data Fields

All the datasets in the benchmark are in the same input-output format

  • input: a string feature. The input document.
  • input_prefix: an optional string feature, for the datasets containing prefix (e.g. question)
  • output: a string feature. The target.
  • id: a string feature. Unique per input.
  • pid: a string feature. Unique per input-output pair (can differ from 'id' in NarrativeQA and Qasper, where there is more then one valid target).

The dataset that contain input_prefix are:

  • SQuAD - the question
  • HotpotQA - the question
  • qmsum - the query
  • qasper - the question
  • narrative_qa - the question
  • quality - the question + the four choices
  • contract_nli - the hypothesis

Controlled experiments

To test multiple properties of SLED, we modify SQuAD 1.1 Rajpurkar et al., 2016 and HotpotQA Yang et al., 2018 to create a few controlled experiments settings. Those are accessible via the following configurations:

  • squad - Contains the original version of SQuAD 1.1 (question + passage)
  • squad_ordered_distractors - For each example, 9 random distrctor passages are concatenated (separated by '\n')
  • squad_shuffled_distractors - For each example, 9 random distrctor passages are added (separated by '\n'), and jointly the 10 passages are randomly shuffled
  • hotpotqa - A clean version of HotpotQA, where each input contains only the two gold passages (separated by '\n')
  • hotpotqa_second_only - In each example, the input contains only the second gold passage
