t5-large-coqr-canard

This model is a fine-tuned version of t5-large on the CANARD dataset. It achieves the following results on the test set:

• Loss: 0.3064
• Bleu: 77.1979
• Generation Length: 9.576

Model description

CANARD dataset rewrites the original questions in conversations to make them context-independent (understandable w/o context). On the contrary, this model is trained to rewrite context-independent questions to conversational questions, aiming to create fluent dialog with anaphora and ellipsis.

Input:

Rewrite the question according to the given context to make the dialog fluent using anaphora and ellipsis.

question: How did people respond to Superstar Billy Graham's return?

context: Superstar Billy Graham
Return to WWWF (1977-1981)
Why did he return to the WWWF?
an agreement with promoter Vincent J. McMahon (Senior
What was his agreement with McMahon?
I don't know.

Target:

How did people respond to his return?
