    When will an AI system achieve excellent performance in reading comprehension on the Facebook bAbI 20 QA dataset, with only 1000 training examples?

    Question

    The Facebook bAbI 20 QA dataset is an example of a basic reading comprehension task. It involves learning to answer simple reasoning questions like these:

    "TASK 11: BASIC COREFERENCE Daniel was in the kitchen. Then he went to the studio. Sandra was in the office. Question: Where is Daniel? Answer: studio."

    A human can come very close to 100% accuracy on this task, so we shall say that it is solved with "excellent performance" by a system if it reaches an accuracy of 99%. It has been solved in such a way with large training datasets (10,000 examples per task) but not with a smaller training dataset of 1,000 examples for each of the 20 categories of tasks.

    More details and literature references can be found at the official Facebook Research bAbI page.

    The question resolution date will be set to the earliest of the following dates:

    *Publication date of a credible paper, blog-post, video or similar demonstrating an AI with performance >=99.00%

    *A credible paper, blog-post, video or similar, referencing a date earlier than its publication date, by which the feat had been achieved (similar to how DeepMind kept AlphaGo's victory over European champion Fan Hui secret from October 2015 to January 2016, in order to coincide with the publication of the corresponding Nature paper).

    Prediction

    Note: this question resolved before its original close time. All of your predictions came after the resolution, so you did not gain (or lose) any points for it.

    Note: this question resolved before its original close time. You earned points up until the question resolution, but not afterwards.

    This question is not yet open for predictions.

    Current points depend on your prediction, the community's prediction, and the result. Your total earned points are averaged over the lifetime of the question, so predict early to get as many points as possible! See the FAQ.

    Metaculus help: Predicting

    Predictions are the heart of Metaculus. Predicting is how you contribute to the wisdom of the crowd, and how you earn points and build up your personal Metaculus track record.

    The basics of predicting are very simple: move the slider to best match the likelihood of the outcome, and click predict. You can predict as often as you want, and you're encouraged to change your mind when new information becomes available.

    The displayed score is split into current points and total points. Current points show how much your prediction is worth now, whereas total points show the combined worth of all of your predictions over the lifetime of the question. The scoring details are available on the FAQ.

    Thanks for predicting!
