In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and you have to write an answerable question based on the context. Your questions can be extractive, abstractive, or yes-no questions.

[Q]: Suppose there are $M$ total layers, and define a subset of these layers at which to apply the loss function: $K = \lbrace k_1, k_2, ..., k_L\rbrace \subseteq \lbrace 1,..,M-1\rbrace $. The total objective function is then defined as

where $Z_{k_l}$ is the $k_l$-th Transformer layer activations, $Y$ is the ground-truth transcription for CTC and context dependent states for hybrid ASR, and $Loss(P, Y)$ can be defined as CTC objective BIBREF11 or cross entropy for hybrid ASR. T
[A]: Do they just sum up all the loses the calculate to end up with one single loss?


[Q]: TOEFL listening comprehension test is for human English learners whose native language is not English. This paper reports how today's machine can perform with such a test.

The listening comprehension task considered here is highly related to Spoken Question Answering (SQA) BIBREF0 , BIBREF1 . 
[A]: What is the new task proposed in this work?


[Q]: We are in line with recent work BIBREF16 , proposing to shift evaluation from absolute values to more exploratory evaluations focusing on weaknesses and strengths of the embeddings and not so much in generic scores. For example, one metric could consist in checking whether for any given word, all words that are known to belong to the same class are closer than any words belonging to different classes, independently of the actual cosine.
[A]:
What new metrics are suggested to track progress?
