mrc-kobert-rtt

MRC kobert RTT is a research project on 'improving Korean reading comprehension model using round-trip translation (data augmentation method) for KorQuAD v2 dataset'. KorQuAD v2 dataset is a Korean Machine Reading Comprehension dataset consisting of a total of 100,000+ pairs, including 20,000+ pairs of question and answer data from KorQuAD v1. KorQuAD v2 dataset can be found at their leaderboard website. The dataset are very long passages with tables and ordered/unordered lists included. Therefore, it was essential to understand the structure of the document through HTML tag parsing.

Round-trip translation, also known as back-and-forth translation, is the data augmentation technique of translating a word, phrase or text into another language (forward translation), then translating the result back into the original language (back translation), using machine translation utils. Its effectiveness to enhance performance for reading comprehension models is proven in many papers as it allows the model to learn rich expressions to a greater extent.

For the baseline model, we employed KoBERT(Korean BERT) pre-trained model to deal with Korean dataset. We then compared the baseline performance with data augmented models.
