Task: Question Generation
Input (English): The method is evaluated on the BERTbase model, which has 12 layers, 12 self-attention heads with a hidden size of 768.

To accelerate the training speed, two-phase training BIBREF1 is adopted. The first phase uses a maximal sentence length of 128, and 512 for the second phase. The numbers of training steps of two phases are 50K and 40K for the BERTBase model. We used AdamW BIBREF13 optimizer with a learning rate of 1e-4, a $\beta _1$ of 0.9, a $\beta _2$ of 0.999 and a L2 weight decay rate of $0.01$. The first 10% of the total steps are used for learning rate warming up, followed by the linear decay schema. We used a dropout probability of 0.1 on all layers. The data used for pre-training is the same as BERT, i.e., English Wikipedia (2500M words) and BookCorpus (800M words) BIBREF14.
Output (English): Do they train their model starting from a checkpoint?
