Task: Question Answering
Input (English): The parameters of the entire MSD (auxiliary-task) decoder are shared across languages.

Since a grouping of the languages based on language family would have left several languages in single-member groups (e.g. Russian is the sole representative of the Slavic family), we experiment with random groupings of two to three languages. Multilingual training is performed by randomly alternating between languages for every new minibatch. 
 Question: How do they perform multilingual training?
Output (English): Multilingual training is performed by randomly alternating between languages for every new minibatch
