| Challenge: | In recent past, Natural language Inference (NLI) has gained significant attention, but its true impact has not been well studied. |
| Approach: | They propose to transform a large RACE dataset into an NLI model and compare it to a state-of-the-art model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the previous model on a question-answer concatenation form and a coherent entailment form. |
