Recent advances in NLP and information retrieval have given rise to a diverse set of question answering tasks that are of different formats (e.g., extractive, abstractive), require different model architectures (e.g., generative, discriminative), and setups (e.g., with or without retrieval). Despite having a large number of powerful, specialized QA pipelines (which we refer to as Skills) that consider a single domain, model or setup, there exists no framework where users can easily explore and compare such pipelines and can extend them according to their needs. To address this issue, we present UKP-SQuARE, an extensible online QA platform for researchers which allows users to query and analyze a large collection of modern Skills via a user-friendly web interface and integrated behavioural tests. In addition, QA researchers can develop, manage, and share their custom Skills using our microservices that support a wide range of models (Transformers, Adapters, ONNX), datastores and retrieval techniques (e.g., sparse and dense). UKP-SQuARE is available on https://square.ukp-lab.de

This paper describes the KUIS-AI NLP team’s submission for the 1st Shared Task on Multilingual Clause-level Morphology (MRL2022). We present our work on all three parts of the shared task: inflection, reinflection, and analysis. We mainly explore two approaches: Trans- former models in combination with data augmentation, and exploiting the state-of-the-art language modeling techniques for morphological analysis. Data augmentation leads to a remarkable performance improvement for most of the languages in the inflection task. Prefix-tuning on pretrained mGPT model helps us to adapt reinflection and analysis tasks in a low-data setting. Additionally, we used pipeline architectures using publicly available open-source lemmatization tools and monolingual BERT- based morphological feature classifiers for rein- flection and analysis tasks, respectively. While Transformer architectures with data augmentation and pipeline architectures achieved the best results for inflection and reinflection tasks, pipelines and prefix-tuning on mGPT received the highest results for the analysis task. Our methods achieved first place in each of the three tasks and outperforms mT5-baseline with 89% for inflection, 80% for reflection, and 12% for analysis. Our code 1 is publicly available.
