1. **[A Span-Extraction Dataset for Chinese Machine Reading Comprehension](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/cui-2018-span-extraction-dataset-chinese/)** *(2018 · 160 citations)* Most machine reading comprehension (MRC) benchmarks are in English, so it is unclear whether models that beat humans on SQuAD perform as well in other languages.
2. **[QCRD: Quality-guided Contrastive Rationale Distillation for Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2025-qcrd-quality-guided-contrastive-rationale/)** *(2025 · 13 citations)* QCRD addresses a gap in chain-of-thought distillation. Earlier approaches such as Distilling Step-by-Step (DSS) treat a single teacher-generated rationale as ground truth. This means teacher mistakes are passed to the student, and incorrect reasoning is never used as a learning signal. QCRD keeps the DSS multi-task…
