Transferability of Natural Language Inference to Biomedical Question Answering
Table 1: BioASQ 7B Phase B challenge results and our results. We use dash (-) if the paper doesn’t suggest results corresponding to each question type. All scores are averaged of best score when batch results are reported in paper. Bold denotes the best score in each column.
['Reference System', 'Yes/No (Macro F1)', 'Factoid (MRR)', 'List (F1)']
BioASQ Challenge Task 7B (Phase B) In comparison with the best results in the previous challenge, we observe that transferrring from MNLI shows significant performance gain on the Yes/No (+5.59%), Factoid (+0.53%) and List (+13.58%) types.
