Distantly-Supervised Dense Retrieval Enables Open-Domain Question Answering without Evidence Annotation (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Open-domain question answering uses evidence retrieved from large corpus to answer questions . state-of-the-art approaches require intermediate evidence annotations for training . however, such intermediate annotations are expensive and methods that rely on them cannot transfer to the more common setting . |
| Approach: | They propose an open-domain question answering approach that alternately finds evidence from an up-to-date model and encourages the model to learn the most likely evidence. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves over weak retrievers on multi-hop and single-hop benchmarks without using evidence labels. |
