MRQA Workshop

Workshop on Machine Reading for Question Answering (MRQA)

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

Missed the MRQA workshop at #emnlp2021? Recordings of invited talks and panels (multilingual QA and interpretable QA) are now available on our website!

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

Join us on Zoom for the interpretability panel in 25 minutes! With Hanna Hajishirzi, Dieuwke Hupkes, Marco Tulio Ribeiro, Michael Collins, and Dan Roth.

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

@HannaHajishirzi talking now about "Knowledge-Rich and Robust Neural Text Comprehension and Reasoning." How do we build robust models for textual comprehension and reasoning, and how should we systematically evaluate them?

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

Speaking now: @marcotcr talks about "Explanations and counterfactuals." Great perspective through the lens of counterfactuals - which counterfc are used to create explanation, how these counterfc are summarized, and what counterfc preds the explanation allows the user to make.

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

Starting up again: join for @JonathanBerant's talk on "Is my QA model reasoning? Meaning representations and multi-task training for understanding QA models".

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

Also honorable mention to Kell et. al. on "What Would it Take to get Biomedical QA Systems into Practice?" and to Fajcik et. al. on "Rethinking the Objectives of Extractive Question Answering"

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

Best paper talks happening now! Congrats to the best paper authors, @maxime_de_bruyn et. al., on "MFAQ: a Multilingual FAQ Dataset" (https://t.co/pYsAwqAQg9)

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

Happening now: multilingual QA panel with Reut Tsarfaty, Yiming Cui, Eunsol Choi, Luke Zettlemoyer, Jon Clark, and Jordan Boyd-Graber!

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

Catch @KCrosner's talk on Chinese Machine Reading Comprehension and Beyond! Covers 3 main topics in dealing with non-English MRC scenarios, including new models, benchmarks and paradigms.

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

Talking now: @JonClarkSeattle on "Question Answering for All." How can we make QA more user-centric? This perspective influences what research questions we pursue, what datasets we built, and ultimately how useful systems built with our methodologies will be to real people.

[MRQA Workshop @MRQA_workshop]

Talking now: @rtsarfaty on Comprehensive and Inclusive Text Understanding. SOTA models beat "human" benchmarks. Does their performance on current QA tasks indeed resemble human-like understanding? And, are these reports attainable in languages that are different from English?
