## Papers

1. **[Evaluating Models' Local Decision Boundaries via Contrast Sets](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gardner-2020-evaluating-models-local-decision-boundaries/)** *(2020)* `measured` Standard test sets come from the same distribution as the training data, so a dataset with systematic gaps or annotation artifacts lets models score well with shallow heuristics.
2. **[Quoref: A Reading Comprehension Dataset with Questions Requiring Coreferential Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/dasigi-2019-quoref-reading-comprehension-dataset-questions/)** *(2019)* Quoref has over 24K span-answer questions on 4.7K Wikipedia paragraphs (about 40% film plot summaries, which mention many characters), written by crowd workers so that answering needs linking two mentions of one entity.
