| Challenge: | Existing models for Yes-no questions skip polar keywords and instead use long explanations that must be interpreted. |
| Approach: | They propose a distant supervision approach to collect training data and show that direct answers are useful to train models to interpret indirect answers. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves a 68% to 76% F1-score on multilingual Question-Answering benchmarks. |
