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.

Question: We used the Visual storytelling (VIST) dataset comprising of image sequences obtained from Flickr albums and respective annotated descriptions collected through Amazon Mechanical Turk BIBREF1. Each sequence has 5 images with corresponding descriptions that together make up for a story. Furthermore, for each Flickr album there are 5 permutations of a selected set of its images. In the overall available data there are 40,071 training, 4,988 validation, and 5,050 usable testing stories.

Answer: What statistics on the VIST dataset are reported?


Question: We thus try to remove the language-specific information from the representations by centering the representations of sentences in each language so that their average lies at the origin of the vector space.

Answer: Are language-specific and language-neutral components disjunctive?


Question: Probing into the assorted empirical results may help us discover some interesting phenomenons:

The advantage of pre-training gradually diminishes with the increase of labeled data BIBREF14, BIBREF17, BIBREF18.

Fixed representations yield better results than fine-tuning in some cases BIBREF24.

Overall, pre-training the Seq2Seq encoder outperforms pre-training the decoder BIBREF24, BIBREF17, BIBREF15, BIBREF16.

Answer:
What experimental phenomena are presented?
