|
- [Project repository](https://git.kemt.fei.tuke.sk/dano/annotation) (private)
|
|
- [Annotation Manual for question annotation](navod)
|
|

|
## Project Description
|
|
|
|
- Create a clone of [SQuaD 2.0](https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/) in the Slovak language
|
|
- Setup annotation infrastructure with [Prodigy](https://prodi.gy/)
|
|
- Perform and evaluate annotations of [Wikipedia data](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html).
|
|
|
|
Auxiliary tasks:
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Train and evaluate Question Answering model
|
|
|
|
