Cosmos QA: Machine Reading Comprehension with Contextual Commonsense Reasoning (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing reading comprehension datasets focus on factual and literal understanding of context paragraphs, but our dataset focuses on reading between the lines over a diverse collection of everyday narratives. |
| Approach: | They propose a large-scale dataset that requires commonsense-based reading comprehension, formulated as multiple-choice questions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed architecture improves over the baselines of existing reading comprehension datasets and shows a significant gap between machine (68.4%) and human performance (94%). |

| Challenge: | Current state-of-the-art machine readers do not support case-based reasoning . |
| Approach: | They propose a method that extracts a set of similar cases from a nonparametric memory and then predicts an answer by selecting the span in the test context that is most similar to the contextualized representations of answers. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms baselines on NaturalQuestions and NewsQA by 11.5 and 8.4 EM. |
On Making Reading Comprehension More Comprehensive (D19-58)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Getting machines to "understand" text is a vast and long-standing problem, made more challenging by the fact that it is not even clear what it means to understand text. |
| Approach: | They propose a question-based approach to machine reading comprehension that uses a natural language question to test a system's comprehension of a passage of text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed questions have surface cues or other biases that allow a model to shortcut the intended reasoning process. |
