# Question Answering
[Project repository](https://git.kemt.fei.tuke.sk/dano/annotation) (private)
## 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:
- Consider using machine translation
- Train and evaluate Question Answering model
## Tasks
### Raw Data Preparation
Input: Wikipedia
Output: a set of paragraphs
1. Obtaining and parsing of wikipedia dump
1. Selecting feasible paragraphs
Done:
- Wiki parsing script (Daniel Hládek)
- PageRank script (Daniel Hládek)
- selection of paragraphs: select all good paragraphs and shuffle
To be done:
- fix minor errors
Notes:
- PageRank Causes bias to geography, random selection might be the best
- [75 best articles](https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Zoznam_najlep%C5%A1%C3%ADch_%C4%8Dl%C3%A1nkov)
- [167 good articles](https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Zoznam_dobr%C3%BDch_%C4%8Dl%C3%A1nkov)
- [Wiki Facts](https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Zauj%C3%ADmavosti)
### Question Annotation
An annotation recipe for Prodigy
Input: A set of paragraphs
Output: A question for each paragraph
Done:
- a data preparation script (Daniel Hládek)
- annotation recipe (Daniel Hládek)
- deployment at [question.tukekemt.xyz](http://question.tukekemt.xyz) (only from tuke) (Daniel Hládek)
- answer annotation together with question (Daniel Hládek)
To be done:
- prepare final input paragraphs (dataset)
### Answer Annotation
Input: A set of paragraphs and questions
Output: An answer for each paragraph and question
Done:
- a data preparation script (Daniel Hládek)
- annotation recipe (Daniel Hládek)
- deployment at [answer.tukekemt.xyz](http://answer.tukekemt.xyz) (only from tuke) (Daniel Hládek)
To be done:
- extract annotations from question annotation
- input paragraphs with questions (dataset)
### Annotation Summary
Annotation work summary
Input: Database of annotations
Output: Summary of work performed by each annotator
Done:
- application template (Tomáš Kuchárik)
- Dockerfile (Daniel Hládek)
In progress:
- web application for annotation analysis (Tomáš Kuchárik, Flask)
- application deployment (Daniel Hládek)
### Annotation Validation
Input: annnotated questions and paragraph
Output: good annotated questions
In Progress:
- Design validation recipe (Tomáš Kuchárik)
To do:
- Implement and deploy validation recipe (Tomáš Kuchárik)
### Annotation Manual
Output: Recommendations for annotators
To be done:
- Web Page for annotators (Tomáš Kuchárik)
In progress:
- Introductory text and references to annotation (Tomáš Kuchárik)
### Question Answering Model
Training the model with annotated data
Input: An annotated QA database
Output: An evaluated model for QA
To be done:
- Selecting existing modelling approach
- Evaluation set selection
- Model evaluation
- Supporting the annotation with the model (pre-selecting answers)
### Supporting activities
Output: More annotations
Organizing voluntary student challenges to support the annotation process
TBD

- [Freebase](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebase)
## Intern tasks
Week 1: Intro
- Get acquainted with the project and Squad Database
- Download the database and study the bibliography
- Study [Prodigy annnotation](https://Prodi.gy) tool
- Read [SQuAD: 100,000+ Questions for Machine Comprehension of Text](https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.05250)
- Read [Know What You Don't Know: Unanswerable Questions for SQuAD](https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.03822)
Week 2 and 3: Web Application
- Analyze sql schema of Prodigy annotations
- Find out who annotated what.
- Make a web application that displays results.
- Extend the application to analyze more Prodigy instances (for both question and answer annotations)
- Improve the process of annotation.
Output: Web application (in Node.js or Python) and Dockerfile
Week 4-7 The model
Select and train a working question answering system
Output:
- a deployment script with comments for a selected question answering system
- a working training recipe (can use English data), a script with comments or Jupyter Notebook
- a trained model
- evaluation of the model (if possible)
