Self-supervised Question Answering

Self-supervised Question Answering (SSQA) is a training paradigm that automatically generates question-answer pairs from unlabeled text — using cloze translation, span masking, or neural question generation — to train QA models without any human-labeled data. It enables high-quality reading comprehension systems even when annotated datasets are scarce or domain-specific.
