Tomayto, Tomahto. Beyond Token-level Answer Equivalence for Question Answering Evaluation (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | despite the importance of question answering, evaluations of QA systems are typically limited by manual annotations . despite this, little progress has been made in QA evaluations based on a single answer . |
| Approach: | They propose to extend over exact match (EM) with predefined rules or token-level F1 measure . they propose to use a BERT matching measure to approximate QA predictions . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves AE approximations and more accurately reflects the performance of systems. |

| Challenge: | Neural retrieval models have replaced bag-of-words methods for document retrieval . however, they lack the interpretability of bag-off-word models . |
| Approach: | They train a query decoder that generates a meaningful query from a latent representation of a neural search engine. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms both query reformulation and PRF information retrieval baselines. |
