Extract, Integrate, Compete: Towards Verification Style Reading Comprehension (2021.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | VGaokao is a verification style reading comprehension dataset for Chinese language tests requiring advanced language understanding skills. |
| Approach: | They propose a new extract-integration-compete approach to extract complementary evidence from Chinese Language tests of Gaokao and a pairwise competition to push models to learn the subtle difference between similar text pieces. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms baselines on VGaokao with retrieved complementary evidence while having the merits of efficiency and explainability. |
