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.

Q: We evaluate sentence-level semantics using averaged bag of vectors (BoV) representations on the Semantic Textual Similarity (STSB) task BIBREF21 and Word Content (WC) probing task (identify from a list of words which is contained in the sentence representation) from SentEval BIBREF22. Syntax: Similarly, we use the Google Syntactic analogies (GSyn) BIBREF9 to evaluate word-level syntactic information, and Depth (Dep) and Top Constituent (TopC) (of the input sentence's constituent parse tree) probing tasks from SentEval BIBREF22 for sentence-level syntax.

A: What semantic and syntactic tasks are used as probes?

Q: We conduct various experiments to illustrate the properties that are encouraged via different KL magnitudes. In particular, we revisit the interdependence between rate and distortion, and shed light on the impact of KL on the sharpness of the approximated posteriors. Then, through a set of qualitative and quantitative experiments for text generation, we demonstrate how certain generative behaviours could be imposed on VAEs via a range of maximum channel capacities. Finally, we run some experiments to find if any form of syntactic information is encoded in the latent space.

A: What different properties of the posterior distribution are explored in the paper?

Q: We improve over the previous state-of-the-art BIBREF35 for VQA dataset by around 6% in BLEU score and 10% in METEOR score. In the VQG-COCO dataset, we improve over BIBREF5 by 3.7% and BIBREF36 by 3.5% in terms of METEOR scores.

A:
What were the previous state of the art benchmarks?
