Domain-adaptive Question Answering/Evidence
Method evidence record

Domain-adaptive Question Answering

Domain-adaptive Question Answering (DA-QA) adapts a pre-trained language model — typically BERT or RoBERTa — first trained on general QA benchmarks such as SQuAD to answer questions accurately in a new target domain (e.g., biomedical, legal, financial) where labelled data is scarce. Combining domain-adaptive pre-training with task fine-tuning yields substantially stronger performance than direct fine-tuning alone.
