Abstract: Recently published datasets for open-domain question answering follow question elicitation from a fairly small snippet of Wikipedia content. Often centered around an article section, the evidence is further subdivided into context-unaware passages of uniform token-lengths to found the basic retrieval units. In this study we hypothesized that splitting a section perceived as an opaque text fragment may hinder quality of answer span predictions. We propose to dynamically draw content corresponding to an article-section url from the most updated online Wikipedia rather than from an archived snapshot. Hence approaching space complexity of O(1), downward from O(n) for a dataset that is fully populated with static context. We then parse the url bound content and feed our neural retriever with a list of paragraph-like html elements that preserve context boundaries naturally. Using knowledge distillation from a sustainable language model pretrained on the large SQuAD 2.0 dataset to the state -of-the-art QuAC domain, shows that during inference our natural context split recovered answer span predictions by 7.5 F1 and 4.1 EM points over a synthetic distribution of fixed-length passages.
