TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: For the overlapped speech recognition problem, the conditional independence assumption in the output label streams is still made as in Equation ( 5 ). Then the cross-entropy based PIT can be transformed to sequence discriminative criterion based PIT as below,

$$\begin{split} \mathcal {J}_{\text{SEQ-PIT}}=\sum _u \min _{s^{\prime }\in \mathbf {S}} \frac{1}{N} \sum _{n\in [1,N]}-\mathcal {J}_{\text{SEQ}}(\mathbf {L}_{un}^{(s^{\prime })},\mathbf {L}_{un}^{(r)}) \end{split}$$ (Eq. 44)

Different from Equation ( 7 ), the best permutation is decided by $\mathcal {J}_{\text{SEQ}}(\mathbf {L}_{un}^{(s^{\prime })},\mathbf {L}_{un}^{(r)})$ , which is the sequence discriminative criterion of taking the $s^{\prime }$ -th permutation in $n$ -th output inference stream at utterance $u$ . Similar to CE-PIT, $\mathcal {J}_{\text{SEQ}}$ of all the permutations are calculated and the minimum permutation is taken to do the optimization.

SOLUTION: How is the discriminative training formulation different from the standard ones?

PROBLEM: Comparing these topics with those that appeared on a Catholic women forum, it seems that both ISIS and non-violent groups use topics about motherhood, spousal relationship, and marriage/divorce when they address women. Moreover, we used Depechemood methods to analyze the emotions that these materials are likely to elicit in readers. The result of our emotion analysis suggests that both corpuses used words that aim to inspire readers while avoiding fear. However, the actual words that lead to these effects are very different in the two contexts. Overall, our findings indicate that, using proper methods, automated analysis of large bodies of textual data can provide novel insight insight into extremist propaganda that can assist the counterterrorism community.

SOLUTION: What conclusions do the authors draw from their finding that the emotional appeal of ISIS and Catholic materials are similar?

PROBLEM: Instead, our analysis reveals that this behavior is caused by subtle artifacts arising from the translation process itself. In particular, we show that translating different parts of each instance separately (e.g. the premise and the hypothesis in NLI) can alter superficial patterns in the data (e.g. the degree of lexical overlap between them), which severely affects the generalization ability of current models. Based on the gained insights, we improve the state-of-the-art in XNLI, and show that some previous findings need to be reconsidered in the light of this phenomenon. The benchmark consists of a competence test, which evaluates the ability to understand antonymy relation and perform numerical reasoning, a distraction test, which evaluates the robustness to shallow patterns like lexical overlap and the presence of negation words, and a noise test, which evaluates robustness to spelling errors. Just as with previous experiments, we report results for the best epoch checkpoint in each test set.

SOLUTION:
What are examples of these artificats?
