This is a counter to a post published earlier this week suggesting that robots can now read better than humans. Technically, the headline wasn't wrong, but the problem lies in the test. "The test is actually a dataset, compiled by a group of Stanford university computer scientists," explains the author. "It's called the Stanford Question Answering Dataset (or SQuAD for short)." It poses a set of questions based on a set of Wikipedia articles. But this sort of test is easy, says James Vincent. It's just a pattern matching test, and doesn't require inference or comprehension.
