To Answer or Not To Answer? Improving Machine Reading Comprehension Model with Span-based Contrastive Learning (2022.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models fail to recognize answerable questions due to subtle literal changes . MRC models are forced to perceive crucial semantic changes from slight literal differences. |
| Approach: | They propose a span-based method of Contrastive Learning which explicitly contrasts answerable questions with their answerable counterparts at the answer span level. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves baselines significantly and is an effective way to utilize generated questions. |
