Perhaps PTLMs Should Go to School – A Task to Assess Open Book and Closed Book QA (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Taking the exam closed book, but having read the textbook, yields at best minor improvement (56%), suggesting that the PTLM may not have “understood” the textbook (or perhaps misundersttoo the questions). |
| Approach: | They propose to use pre-trained language models to answer questions from introductory college textbooks and hundreds of true/false statements based on review questions written by the authors. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task includes two college-level introductory texts in the social sciences (American Government 2e) and humanities (U.S. History). |
