WikiReading: A Novel Large-scale Language Understanding Task over Wikipedia

Understand

We present WikiReading, a large-scale natural language understanding task and publicly-available dataset with 18 million instances.

• The task is to predict textual values from the structured knowledge base Wikidata by reading the text of the corresponding Wikipedia articles.
• The task contains a rich variety of challenging classification and extraction sub-tasks, making it well-suited for end-to-end models such as deep neural networks (DNNs).
• We compare various state-of-the-art DNN-based architectures for document classification, information extraction, and question answering.
