Reasoning Over Paragraph Effects in Situations (D19-58)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a key component of reading a passage is the ability to apply knowledge gained from the passage to a new situation. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark for reading comprehension targeting Reasoning Over Paragraph Effects in Situations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs slightly better than randomly guessing an answer of the correct type, but is below the human performance of 89.0%. |
Multi-Step Inference for Reasoning Over Paragraphs (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for complex reasoning use symbols or black-box transformers . a compositional model can chain together free-form predicates and logical connectives . |
| Approach: | They propose a compositional model that finds relevant sentences and then chains them together using neural modules. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves performance on a recently-introduced dataset. |
Learning with Instance Bundles for Reading Comprehension (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a study shows that training reading comprehension models assumes that the training instances are independent and identically distributed . however, this assumption can cause the learner to ignore distinguishing cues between related or minimally different questions . |
| Approach: | They propose to normalize question-answer scores across neighborhoods of closely contrasting questions and/or answers by adding a cross entropy loss term to the supervision signal. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods show up to 9% absolute gains in accuracy on two datasets. |
