Challenge: Existing LLMs cannot generalize to domain-specific parsing tasks in a zero-shot setting.
Approach: They propose a task-oriented parsing method that decomposes parse problem into abstractive and extractive question-answering problems.
Outcome: The proposed method decomposes a parsing problem into abstractive and extractive question-answering (QA) problems.
