|
| | The BioASQ corpus contains multiple question |
| | answering tasks annotated by biomedical experts, including yes/no, factoid, list, |
| | and summary questions. Pertaining to our objective of comparing neural language |
| | models, we focus on the the yes/no questions (Task 7b), and leave the inclusion |
| | of other tasks to future work. Each question is paired with a reference text |
| | containing multiple sentences from a PubMed abstract and a yes/no answer. We use |
| | the official train/dev/test split of 670/75/140 questions. |
