    "abstract": "Innovations in annotation methodology have been a catalyst for Reading Comprehension (RC) datasets and models. One recent trend to challenge current RC models is to involve a model in the annotation process: Humans create questions adversarially, such that the model fails to answer them correctly. In this work we investigate this annotation methodology and apply it in three different settings, collecting a total of 36,000 samples with progressively stronger models in the annotation loop. This allows us to explore questions such as the reproducibility of the adversarial effect, transfer from data collected with varying model-in-the-loop strengths, and generalization to data collected without a model. We find that training on adversarially collected samples leads to strong generalization to non-adversarially collected datasets, yet with progressive performance deterioration with increasingly stronger models-in-the-loop. Furthermore, we find that stronger models can still learn from datasets collected with substantially weaker models-in-the-loop. When trained on data collected with a BiDAF model in the loop, RoBERTa achieves 39.9F 1 on questions that it cannot answer when trained on SQuAD-only marginally lower than when trained on data collected using RoBERTa itself (41.0F 1).",

Innovations in data acquisition methodology, such as crowdsourcing, have led to major breakthroughs in scalability and preceded the ''deep learning revolution'', for which they can arguably be seen as co-responsible (Deng et al., 2009; Bowman et al., 2015; Rajpurkar et al., 2016) . Annotation approaches include expert annotation, for example, relying on trained linguists (Marcus et al., 1993) , crowd-sourcing by non-experts (Snow et al., 2008) , distant supervision (Mintz et al., 2009; Joshi et al., 2017) , and leveraging document structure (Hermann et al., 2015) . The concrete data collection paradigm chosen dictates the degree of scalability, annotation cost, precise task structure (often arising as a compromise of the above) and difficulty, domain coverage, as well as resulting dataset biases and model blind spots (Jia and Liang, 2017; Schwartz et al., 2017; Gururangan et al., 2018) .",

We then study the reproducibility of the adversarial effect when retraining the models with the same data, as well as the generalization ability of models trained using datasets produced with and without a model adversary. Models can, to a considerable degree, learn to generalize to more challenging questions, based on training sets collected with both stronger and also weaker models in the loop. Compared to training on SQuAD, training on adversarially composed questions leads to a similar degree of generalization to non-adversarially written questions, both for SQuAD and NaturalQuestions (Kwiatkowski et al., 2019) . It furthermore leads to general improvements across the model-in-theloop datasets we collect, as well as improvements of more than 20.0F 1 for both BERT and RoBERTa on an extractive subset of DROP (Dua et al., 2019) , another adversarially composed dataset. When conducting a systematic analysis of the concrete questions different models fail to answer correctly, as well as non-adversarially composed questions, we see that the nature of the resulting questions changes: Questions composed with a model in the loop are overall more diverse, use more paraphrasing, multihop inference, comparisons, and background knowledge, and are generally less easily answered by matching an explicit statement that states the required information literally. Given our observations, we believe a model-in-the-loop approach to annotation shows promise and should be considered when creating future RC datasets.",

                "text": "Constructing Challenging Datasets Recent efforts in dataset construction have driven considerable progress in RC, yet datasets are structurally diverse and annotation methodologies vary. With its large size and combination of freeform questions with answers as extracted spans, SQuAD1.1 (Rajpurkar et al., 2016) has become an established benchmark that has inspired the construction of a series of similarly structured datasets. However, mounting evidence suggests that models can achieve strong generalization performance merely by relying on superficial cues-such as lexical overlap, term frequencies, or entity type matching (Chen et al., 2016; Weissenborn et al., 2017; Sugawara et al., 2018) . It has thus become an increasingly important consideration to construct datasets that RC models find challenging, and for which natural language understanding is a requisite for generalization. Attempts to achieve this non-trivial aim have typically revolved around extensions to the SQuAD dataset annotation methodology. They include unanswerable questions (Trischler et al., 2017; Rajpurkar et al., 2018; Reddy et al., 2019; , adding the option of ''Yes '' or ''No'' answers (Dua et al., 2019; Kwiatkowski et al., 2019) , questions requiring reasoning over multiple sentences or documents (Welbl et al., 2018; Yang et al., 2018a) , questions requiring rule interpretation or context awareness (Saeidi et al., 2018; Reddy et al., 2019) , limiting annotator passage exposure by sourcing questions first (Kwiatkowski et al., 2019 ), controlling answer types by including options for dates, numbers, or spans from the question (Dua et al., 2019) , as well as questions with free-form answers (Nguyen et al., 2016; Ko\u010disk\u00fd et al., 2018; Reddy et al., 2019) .",

We will compare dataset annotation with a series of three progressively stronger models as adversary in the loop, namely, BiDAF (Seo Figure 2 : Overview of the annotation process to collect adversarially written questions from humans using a model in the loop. et al., 2017), BERT LARGE , and RoBERTa LARGE (Liu et al., 2019b) . Each of these will serve as a model adversary in a separate annotation experiment and result in three distinct datasets; we will refer to these as D BiDAF , D BERT , and D RoBERTa respectively. Examples from the validation set of each are shown in Table 1 . We rely on the AllenNLP (Gardner et al., 2018) and Transformers (Wolf et al., 2019) model implementations, and our models achieve EM/F 1 scores of 65.5%/77.5%, 82.7%/90.3% and 86.9%/93.6% for BiDAF, BERT, and RoBERTa, respectively, on the SQuAD1.1 validation set, consistent with results reported in other work.",

We can again observe two clear trends: From weaker towards stronger models used in the annotation loop, the average length of answers increases, and the largest n-gram overlap drops from 3 to 2 tokens. That is, on average there is a trigram overlap between the passage and question for D SQuAD , but only a bigram overlap for D RoBERTa (Figure 4) . 3 This is in line with prior observations on lexical overlap as a predictive cue in SQuAD (Weissenborn et al., 2017; Min et al., 2018) ; questions with less overlap are harder to answer for any of the three models. We furthermore analyze question types based on the question wh-word. We find that-in contrast to D SQuAD -the datasets collected with a model in the annotation loop have fewer when, how, and in questions, and more which, where, and why questions, as well as questions in the other category, which indicates increased question diversity. In terms of answer types, we observe more common noun and verb phrase clauses than in D SQuAD , as well as fewer dates, names, and numeric answers. This reflects on the strong answer-type matching capabilities of contemporary RC models.

First, we observe-as expected given our annotation constraints-that model performance is 0.0EM on datasets created with the same respective model in the annotation loop.

For example, BERT reaches 19.7EM, whereas the original model used during annotation provides no correct answer with 0.0EM. This demonstrates that random model components can substantially affect the adversarial annotation process. The evaluation furthermore serves as a baseline for subsequent model evaluations: This much of the performance range can be learned merely by retraining the same model. A possible takeaway for using the model-inthe-loop annotation strategy in the future is to rely on ensembles of adversaries and reduce the dependency on one particular model instantiation, as investigated by .",

In this experiment we select the subsets of DROP and NaturalQuestions that align with the structural constraints of SQuAD to ensure a like-for-like analysis. Specifically, we only consider questions in DROP where the answer is a span in the passage and where there is only one candidate answer. For NaturalQuestions, we consider all non-tabular long answers as passages, remove HTML tags and use the short answer as the extracted span. We apply this filtering on the validation sets for both datasets. Next we split them, stratifying by document (as we did for D SQuAD ), which results in 1409/1418 validation and test set examples for DROP, and 964/982 for NaturalQuestions, respectively. We denote these datasets as D DROP and D NQ for clarity and distinction from their unfiltered versions. We consider the same models and training datasets as before, but tune on the respective validation sets of D DROP and D NQ . Table 6 shows the results of these experiments in the respective D DROP and D NQ columns. First, we observe clear generalization improvements towards D DROP across all models compared to training on D SQuAD(10K) when training on any of D BiDAF , D BERT , or D RoBERTa . That is, including a model in the loop for the training dataset leads to improved transfer towards D DROP . Note that DROP also makes use of a BiDAF model in the loop during annotation; these results are in line with our prior observations when testing the same setups on D BiDAF , D BERT , and D RoBERTa , compared to training on D SQuAD(10K) .",

This number decreases substantially for any of the model-in-the-loop datasets derived from SQuAD (e.g., 8% for D BiDAF ) and also D DROP , yet 42% of questions in D NQ share this property. In contrast to SQuAD, the model-in-the-loop questions generally tend to involve more paraphrasing. They also require more external knowledge, and multi-hop inference (beyond co-reference resolution) with an increasing trend for stronger models used in the annotation loop. Model-in-the-loop questions further fan out into a variety of small, but nonnegligible proportions of more specific types of inference required for comprehension, for example, spatial or temporal inference (both going beyond explicitly stated spatial or temporal information)-SQuAD questions rarely require these at all. Some of these more particular inference types are common features of the other two datasets, in particular comparative questions for DROP (60%) and to a small extent also Natu-ralQuestions. Interestingly, D BiDAF possesses the largest number of comparison questions (11%) among our model-in-the-loop datasets, whereas D BERT and D RoBERTa only possess 1% and 3%, respectively. This offers an explanation for our previous observation in Table 6 , where BERT and RoBERTa perform better on D DROP when trained on D BiDAF rather than on D BERT or D RoBERTa . It is likely that BiDAF as a model in the loop is worse than BERT and RoBERTa at comparative questions, as evidenced by the results in Table 6 with BiDAF reaching 8.6F 1 , BERT reaching 28.9F 1 , and RoBERTa reaching 39.4F 1 on D DROP (when trained on D SQuAD(10K) ).",

We would expect the insights and benefits conveyed by model-in-the-loop annotation to be the greatest on mature datasets where models exceed human performance: Here the resulting data provides a magnifying glass on model performance, focused in particular on samples which models struggle on. On the other hand, applying the method to datasets where performance has not yet plateaued would likely result in a more similar distribution to the original data, which is challenging to models a priori. We hope that the series of experiments on replicability, observations on transfer between datasets collected using models of different strength, as well as our findings regarding generalization to non-adversarially collected data, can support and inform future research and annotation efforts using this paradigm.",
