# Evaluating the Robustness of Machine Reading Comprehension Models to Low Resource Entity Renaming
This repository hosts a project on evaluating the generalization capability of MRC models and geo representation of MRC datasets which was accepted at the AfricaNLP workshop 2023 co-located with ICLR in Kigali Rwanda.
We investigate:
1. How diverse are the named entities in the SQuAD dataset in terms of geolocation?
2. How do QA models perform when an entity is swapped from the original dataset with a low-resource named entity?
The data folder hosts the swapped dev set of SQuAD and named entity gazeteers generated with African-origin entities
