In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and a question separated with a 
. You have to answer the question based on the context.
--------
Question: Probing Methodology and Modeling ::: Task Definition and Modeling ::: Baselines and Sanity Checks.
When creating synthetic datasets, it is important to ensure that systematic biases, or annotation artifacts BIBREF41, are not introduced into the resulting probes and that the target datasets are sufficiently challenging (or good, in the sense of BIBREF42). To test for this, we use several of the MCQA baseline models first introduced in BIBREF0, which take inspiration from the LSTM-based models used in BIBREF43 for NLI and various partial-input baselines based on these models. 
 Question: How do they control for annotation artificats?

Answer:  we use several of the MCQA baseline models first introduced in BIBREF0


Question: To collect a diverse training dataset, we have randomly sampled 1000 posts each from the subreddits politics, business, science, and AskReddit, and 1000 additional posts from the Reddit frontpage. 
 Question: what are the topics pulled from Reddit?

Answer: politics, business, science, and AskReddit, and 1000 additional posts from the Reddit frontpage. 


Question: We first use state-of-the-art PDTB taggers for our baseline BIBREF13 , BIBREF12 for the evaluation of the causality prediction of our models ( BIBREF12 requires sentences extracted from the text as its input, so we used our parser to extract sentences from the message). 
 Question: What baselines did they consider?

Answer:
state-of-the-art PDTB taggers
