Previous work on question-answering systems mainly focuses on answering individual questions, assuming they are independent and devoid of context.Instead, we investigate sequential question answering, asking multiple related questions.We present QBLink, a new dataset of fully human-authored questions.We extend existing strong question answering frameworks to include previous questions to improve the overall question-answering accuracy in open-domain question answering.The dataset is publicly available at http:// sequential.qanta.org.
