Big thanks to my awesome teammates @ewrfcas and @leolemon214. In this repository you will find the code for the 21th place solution, puzzlingly shaking from public LB 3th. Our team finished as 3/1233 with a micro F1-score of 0.71 on the public test set and 21/1233 with a micro F1-score of 0.67 on the private test set. The challenge was to predict short and long answer responses to real questions about Wikipedia articles.
The dataset is provided by Google's Natural Questions, but contains its own unique private test set.

python pipline_roberta_albert.py| No | Technique | Pros | Cons | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TF-IDF paragraph selection | Shorten doc resulting faster inference speed and better accuracy | May loss some context information | - dev f1 +1.8%, - public LB f1 -1% |
| 2 | Sample negative features till 1:1 | Balance pos and neg | Cause longer training time | dev f1 +2.248% |
| 3 | Multi-process preprocessing | Accelerate preprocessing, especially on training data | Require multi-core CPU | xN faster (with N processes) |
| No | Model Architecture | Idea | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Roberta-Large joint with long/short span extractor | 1. Jointly model: - answer type - long span - short span 2. Output topk start/end logits/index |
dev f1 63.986% |
| 2 | Albert-xxlarge joint with short span extractor | Jointly model: - answer type - short span |
def short-f1 69.364% |
All of above model architectures were pretrained on SQuAD dataset by ourselves.
| No | Trick | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | If answer_type is yes/no, output yes/no rather than short span | public LB f1 +6% |
| 2 | 1. If answer_type is short, output long span and short span 2. If answer_type is long, output long span only 3. If answer_type is none, output neither long span nor short span |
public LB f1 +8% |
| 3 | Choose the best long/short answer pair from topk * topk kind of long/short answer combinations | dev f1 +0.435% |
| 4 | long_score = summary.long_span_score - summary.long_cls_score - summary.answer_type_logits[0]short_score = summary.short_span_score - summary.short_cls_score - summary.answer_type_logits[0] |
- dev f1 +2.12% - public LB +2% |
| 5 | Increase long [CLS] logits multiplier threshold to increase null long answer | dev long-f1 +3.491% |
| 6 | Decrease short answer_type logits divisor threshold to increase null short answer | dev short-f1 ? |
| No | Idea | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | For long answer, We vote long answers of 2 Roberta-Large joint with long/short span extractor models |
dev long-f1 +3.341% |
| 2 | For short answer, use step 1 result to locate predicted long answer candidate as input, We vote short answers of 2 Roberta-Large joint with long/short span extractor models and 4 Albert-xxlarge joint with short span extractor models |
- dev short-f1 +2.842% - dev f1 67.569%, +2.635% - public LB 71%, +5% - private LB 67% |
