TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and a question based on the context. You have to classify the questions into "Extractive", "Abstractive", or "Yes-no" questions. Extractive questions can be answered by concatenating extracts taken from a context into a summary while answering abstractive questions involves paraphrasing the context using novel sentences. Yes-no question is a question whose expected answer is one of two choices, one that affirms the question and one that denies the question. Typically, the choices are either yes or no.
PROBLEM: The overall Total Accuracy score reported in table TABREF19 using the entire feature set is 549.  
 Question: Do they experiment with the dataset?

SOLUTION: Yes-no

PROBLEM: Contextualized word embeddings, sentence embeddings, such as deep contextualized word representations BIBREF20 , BERT BIBREF22 , encode the complex characteristics and meanings of words in various context by jointly training a bidirectional language model.  The second method is to use sentence embeddings, BERT. It is used to a generate single 786-dimensional sentence embedding from 10k-dimensional one-hot vector or distribution over previous words and then merge into a single context vector with two different merging methods. Using this approach, we can obtain a more dense, informative, fixed-length vectors to encode conversational-context information, $e^k_{context}$ to be used in next $k$ -th utterance prediction. We use contextual gating mechanism in our decoder network to combine the conversational-context embeddings with speech and word embeddings effectively. Our gating is contextual in the sense that multiple embeddings compute a gate value that is dependent on the context of multiple utterances that occur in a conversation.  Let $e_w = e_w(y_{u-1})$ be our previous word embedding for a word $y_{u-1}$ , and let $e_s = e_s(x^k_{1:T})$ be a speech embedding for the acoustic features of current $k$ -th utterance $x^k_{1:T}$ and $e_c = e_c(s_{k-1-n:k-1})$ be our conversational-context embedding for $n$ -number of preceding utterances ${s_{k-1-n:k-1}}$ . Then using a gating mechanism:

$$g = \sigma (e_c, e_w, e_s)$$ (Eq. 15)

where $\sigma $ is a 1 hidden layer DNN with $\texttt {sigmoid}$ activation, the gated embedding $e$ is calcuated as

$$e = g \odot (e_c, e_w, e_s) \\ h = \text{LSTM}(e)$$ (Eq. 16)

and fed into the LSTM decoder hidden layer.  The output of the decoder $h$ is then combined with conversational-context embedding $e_c$ again with a gating mechanism,

$$g = \sigma (e_C, h) \\ \hat{h} = g \odot (e_c, h)$$ (Eq. 17)

Then the next hidden layer takes these gated activations, $\hat{h}$ , and so on. 
 Question: How are sentence embeddings incorporated into the speech recognition system?

SOLUTION: Abstractive

PROBLEM: Even if LangID-High does not present a more accurate result, it does present a more compact one: LangID-High is 15.4 MB, while the combined wFST high resource models are 197.5 MB. 
 Question: how is model compactness measured?

SOLUTION:
Abstractive
