TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: Sentiment Classification
We first conduct a multi-task experiment on sentiment classification.

We use 16 different datasets from several popular review corpora used in BIBREF20 . These datasets consist of 14 product review datasets and two movie review datasets.

All the datasets in each task are partitioned randomly into training set, development set and testing set with the proportion of 70%, 10% and 20% respectively. Transferability of Shared Sentence Representation
With attention mechanism, the shared sentence encoder in our proposed models can generate more generic task-invariant representations, which can be considered as off-the-shelf knowledge and then be used for unseen new tasks. Introducing Sequence Labeling as Auxiliary Task
A good sentence representation should include its linguistic information. Therefore, we incorporate sequence labeling task (such as POS Tagging and Chunking) as an auxiliary task into the multi-task learning framework, which is trained jointly with the primary tasks (the above 16 tasks of sentiment classification).

SOLUTION: What tasks did they experiment with?

PROBLEM: We first evaluate our converted embedding models on multi-language lexical similarity and relatedness tasks, as a sanity check, to make sure the word sense induction process did not hurt the general performance of the embeddings. Then, we test the sense embeddings on WSD task.

SOLUTION: Was any extrinsic evaluation carried out?

PROBLEM: The main contribution of our work is thus a new parallel data-to-text NLG corpus that (1) is more conversational, rather than information seeking or question answering, and thus more suitable for an open-domain dialogue system, (2) represents a new, unexplored domain which, however, has excellent potential for application in conversational agents, and (3) has high-quality, manually cleaned human-produced utterances.

SOLUTION:
How the authors made sure that corpus is clean despite being crowdsourced?
