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.

Q: 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?

A: Yes-no

Q: As far as we know, all existing systems treat this task as a pipeline of two separate subtasks, i.e., event extraction and temporal relation classification, and they also assume that gold events are given when training the relation classifier BIBREF0, BIBREF1, BIBREF2, BIBREF3, BIBREF4, BIBREF5. Specifically, they built end-to-end systems that extract events first and then predict temporal relations between them (Fig. FIGREF1). In these pipeline models, event extraction errors will propagate to the relation classification step and cannot be corrected afterwards. Our first contribution is the proposal of a joint model that extracts both events and temporal relations simultaneously (see Fig. FIGREF1). 
 Question: Is this the first paper to propose a joint model for event and temporal relation extraction?

A: Yes-no

Q:  In this work, we develop a technique to rapidly transfer an existing pre-trained model from English to other languages in an energy efficient way BIBREF8. As the first step, we focus on building a bilingual language model (LM) of English and a target language. Starting from a pre-trained English LM, we learn the target language specific parameters (i.e., word embeddings), while keeping the encoder layers of the pre-trained English LM fixed. We then fine-tune both English and target model to obtain the bilingual LM.  
 Question: How is the model transferred to other languages?

A:
Abstractive
