Task: Question Answering
Input (English): In this context, we decided to study the three main types of architectures which have demonstrated promising results over traditional systems: 1) Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) BIBREF5, BIBREF6 which uses Markov assumptions (i.e. conditional independence between predictions at each time step) to efficiently solve sequential problems by dynamic programming, 2) Attention-based methods BIBREF7, BIBREF8 which rely on an attention mechanism to perform non-monotonic alignment between acoustic frames and recognized acoustic units and 3) RNN-tranducer BIBREF0, BIBREF9, BIBREF10 which extends CTC by additionally modeling the dependencies between outputs at different steps using a prediction network analogous to a language model. 
 Question: What are the existing end-to-end ASR approaches for the French language?
