In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and a question separated with a 
. You have to answer the question based on the context.

Methods ::: Length Token Method
Our first approach to control the length is inspired by target forcing in multilingual NMT BIBREF15, BIBREF16. We first split the training sentence pairs into three groups according to the target/source length ratio (in terms of characters). Ideally, we want a group where the target is shorter than the source (short), one where they are equally-sized (normal) and a last group where the target is longer than the source (long). In practice, we select two thresholds $t_\text{min}$ and $t_\text{max}$ according to the length ratio distribution. All the sentence pairs with length ratio between $t_\text{min}$ and $t_\text{max}$ are in the normal group, the ones with ratio below $t_\text{min}$ in short and the remaining in long. At training time we prepend a length token to each source sentence according to its group ($<$short$>$, $<$normal$>$, or $<$long$>$), in order to let a single network to discriminate between the groups (see Figure FIGREF2). At inference time, the length token is used to bias the network to generate a translation that belongs to the desired length group. 
 Question: How do they condition the output to a given target-source class?
They use three groups short/normal/long translation classes to learn length token, which is in inference used to bias network to generate desired length group.

The SnapCaptions dataset is composed of 10K user-generated image (snap) and textual caption pairs where named entities in captions are manually labeled by expert human annotators (entity types: PER, LOC, ORG, MISC). 
 Question: How large is their MNER SnapCaptions dataset?
10K user-generated image (snap) and textual caption pairs

Encoders with induced latent structures have been shown to benefit several tasks including document classification, natural language inference BIBREF12, BIBREF13, and machine translation BIBREF11.  
 Question: Is there any evidence that encoders with latent structures work well on other tasks?

Yes
