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%).

Machine Reading Comprehension using Case-based Reasoning (2023.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

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.

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.
