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.

[Q]: we apply our domain adaptation method to a neural captioning model and show performance improvement over other standard methods on several datasets and metrics.  
 Question: Did they only experiment with captioning task?
[A]: Yes-no


[Q]: We further explore the effect of INLINEFORM0 -gram length in our model (i.e., the filter size for the covolutional layers used by the attention parsing module). In Figure FIGREF39 we plot the AUC scores for link prediction on the Cora dataset against varying INLINEFORM1 -gram length.  
 Question: Do they measure how well they perform on longer sequences specifically?
[A]: Yes-no


[Q]: Vanilla ST baseline: The vanilla ST BIBREF9 has only a speech encoder and a decoder. It is trained from scratch on the ST-TED corpus.

Pre-training baselines: We conduct three pre-training baseline experiments: 1) encoder pre-training, in which the ST encoder is initialized from an ASR model; 2) decoder pre-training, in which the ST decoder is initialized from an MT model; and 3) encoder-decoder pre-training, where both the encoder and decoder are pre-trained. The ASR model has the same architecture with vanilla ST model, trained on the mixture of ST-TED and TED-LIUM2 corpus. The MT model has a text encoder and decoder with the same architecture of which in TCEN. It is first trained on WMT data (out-of-domain) and then fine-tuned on in-domain data.

Multi-task baselines: We also conduct three multi-task baseline experiments including one-to-many setting, many-to-one setting, and many-to-many setting. In the first two settings, we train the model with $\alpha _{st}=0.75$ while $\alpha _{asr}=0.25$ or $\alpha _{mt}=0.25$. For many-to-many setting, we use $\alpha _{st}=0.6, \alpha _{asr}=0.2$ and $\alpha _{mt}=0.2$.. For MT task, we use only in-domain data.

Many-to-many+pre-training: We train a many-to-many multi-task model where the encoders and decoders are derived from pre-trained ASR and MT models. Triangle+pre-train: BIBREF18 DBLP:conf/naacl/AnastasopoulosC18 proposed a triangle multi-task strategy for speech translation. Their model solves the subnet waste issue by concatenating an ST decoder to an ASR encoder-decoder model. Notably, their ST decoder can consume representations from the speech encoder as well as the ASR decoder. For a fair comparison, the speech encoder and the ASR decoder are initialized from the pre-trained ASR model. The Triangle model is fine-tuned under their multi-task manner. 
 Question: What are the baselines?
[A]:
Extractive
