Inspired by the fact that understanding a negated statement often requires humans to infer affirmative interpretations, in this paper we show that doing so benefits models for three natural language understanding tasks.

Furthermore, we show that it is beneficial to leverage the weather station data from multiple neighboring areas over the data of only the area for which weather forecasting is being performed.

The focus of a negation is the set of tokens intended to be negated, and a key component for revealing affirmative alternatives to negated utterances.
