Abstract

Many extractive question answering models are trained to predict start and end positions of answers.
The choice of predicting answers as positions is mainly due to its simplicity and effectiveness.
In this study, we hypothesize that when the distribution of the answer positions is highly skewed in the training set (e.g., answers lie only in the $k$-th sentence of each passage), QA models predicting answers as positions learn spurious positional cues and fail to give answers in different positions.
We first illustrate this \textit{position bias} in popular extractive QA models such as BiDAF and BERT and thoroughly examine how position bias propagates through each layer of BERT.
To safely deliver position information without position bias, we train models with various de-biasing methods including entropy regularization and randomized position.
We found that reducing correlation between word positions and answers helps us to resolve position bias.
