NER has been traditionally formulated as a sequence labeling task. However,
there has been recent trend in posing NER as a machine reading comprehension
task (Wang et al., 2020; Mengge et al., 2020), where entity name (or other
information) is considered as a question, text as the context and entity value
in text as answer snippet. These works consider MRC based on a single question
(entity) at a time. We propose posing NER as a multi-question MRC task, where
