Missed the MRQA workshop at #emnlp2021? Recordings of invited talks and panels (multilingual QA and interpretable QA) are now available on our website!
Link: mrqa.github.io/#program
Join us on Zoom for the interpretability panel in 25 minutes! With Hanna Hajishirzi, Dieuwke Hupkes, Marco Tulio Ribeiro, Michael Collins, and Dan Roth.
@HannaHajishirzi talking now about "Knowledge-Rich and Robust Neural Text Comprehension and Reasoning." How do we build robust models for textual comprehension and reasoning, and how should we systematically evaluate them?
Speaking now: @marcotcr talks about "Explanations and counterfactuals." Great perspective through the lens of counterfactuals - which counterfc are used to create explanation, how these counterfc are summarized, and what counterfc preds the explanation allows the user to make.

Starting up again: join for @JonathanBerant's talk on "Is my QA model reasoning? Meaning representations and multi-task training for understanding QA models".
Best paper talks happening now! Congrats to the best paper authors, @maxime_de_bruyn et. al., on "MFAQ: a Multilingual FAQ Dataset" (mrqa.github.io/assets/papers…)
Happening now: multilingual QA panel with Reut Tsarfaty, Yiming Cui, Eunsol Choi, Luke Zettlemoyer, Jon Clark, and Jordan Boyd-Graber!
Catch @KCrosner's talk on Chinese Machine Reading Comprehension and Beyond! Covers 3 main topics in dealing with non-English MRC scenarios, including new models, benchmarks and paradigms.
Talking now: @JonClarkSeattle on "Question Answering for All." How can we make QA more user-centric? This perspective influences what research questions we pursue, what datasets we built, and ultimately how useful systems built with our methodologies will be to real people.
Talking now: @rtsarfaty on Comprehensive and Inclusive Text Understanding. SOTA models beat "human" benchmarks. Does their performance on current QA tasks indeed resemble human-like understanding? And, are these reports attainable in languages that are different from English?
After some delays due to onsite logistics, we are finally underway! Join us. Schedule at mrqa.github.io/ (expect some deviation due to the late start).
MRQA 2021 is *tomorrow*! Join us Weds 9am AST,
