We create MIND-CA, a new corpus of 11,311 question-answer pairs in English from 1,066 children aged from 7 to 14. We perform machine learning experiments and carry out extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluation. We obtain promising results, demonstrating the applicability of state-of-the-art NLP solutions to a new domain and task. %R 10.18653/v1/2020.coling-main.547 %U https://aclanthology.org/2020.coling-main.547 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/2020.coling-main.547 %P 6217-6228
