Allennlp: Multiple prediction spans from machine comprehension (BiDAF)?

[Andy-jqa]

Hi,

Now the predictor of BiDAF machine comprehension returns one passage span with highest score. Can I use it to return a list of span with decreasing scores, starting from the highest one?

Thanks a lot,
Qiao

BiDAF returns the start and end probabilities for each span, which can you use to compute this.

@matt-gardner Thanks! I mistakenly thought prob of span end should be dependent on the start, so I was looking for a matrix. It turned out that they are independent in BiDAF setting.

Is there any way that I can compute the span score for the bidaf allennlp model?
