CLER: Cross-task Learning with Expert Representation to Generalize Reading and Understanding
This paper describes our model for the reading comprehension task of the MRQA shared task. We propose CLER, which stands for Cross-task Learning with Expert Representation for the generalization of reading and understanding. To generalize its capabilities, the proposed model is composed of three key ideas: multi-task learning, mixture of experts, and ensemble. In-domain datasets are used to train and validate our model, and other out-of-domain datasets are used to validate the generalization of our model{'}s performances. In a submission run result, the proposed model achieved an average F1 score of 66.1 {\%} in the out-of-domain setting, which is a 4.3 percentage point improvement over the official BERT baseline model.
