ABSTRACT
COVID-19 crisis has led to an outburst of information that needs to be organized, validated, and made available to the seekers. Despite the rapid growth and success of BERT models in the last 3 years, COVID QA is a difficult task due to the lack of applicable datasets and a relevant language representation. Therefore, this study proposes a transformer-based Question Answering (QA) model for COVID-19 questions from the biomedical domain. Further, explored several datasets, and models required for question type prediction, no-Answer prediction, and answer extraction and transfer learning strategies. It has been demonstrated that the exact match score can be significantly improved with limited amounts of training data from the biomedical domain. Finally, the findings of the study have been summarized as Factoid QA Finetuning Framework (FQFF), which can provide initial direction for domain-specific QA tasks with a limited amount of data. © 2023 IEEE.
