QASE Enhanced PLMs: Improved Control in Text Generation for MRC

Lin Ai, Zheng Hui, Zizhou Liu, Julia Hirschberg

To address the challenges of out-of-control generation in generative models for machine reading comprehension (MRC), we introduce the Question-Attended Span Extraction (QASE) module. Integrated during the fine-tuning of pre-trained generative language models (PLMs), QASE enables these PLMs to match SOTA extractive methods and outperform leading LLMs like GPT-4 in MRC tasks, without significant increases in computational costs.
