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.

We compare our HR-VAE model with three strong baselines using VAE for text modelling:

VAE-LSTM-base: A variational autoencoder model which uses LSTM for both encoder and decoder. KL annealing is used to tackled the latent variable collapse issue BIBREF0;

VAE-CNN: A variational autoencoder model with a LSTM encoder and a dilated CNN decoder BIBREF7;

vMF-VAE: A variational autoencoder model using LSTM for both encoder and decoder where the prior distribution is the von Mises-Fisher (vMF) distribution rather than a Gaussian distribution BIBREF5. 
 Question: Do they compare against state of the art text generation?
Yes

We used a dataset provided by Shortir, an Indonesian news aggregator and summarizer company. The dataset contains roughly 20K news articles. Each article has the title, category, source (e.g., CNN Indonesia, Kumparan), URL to the original article, and an abstractive summary which was created manually by a total of 2 native speakers of Indonesian 
 Question: Did they use a crowdsourcing platform for the summaries?
No

We train language models on two languages: One model is estimated on the German newscrawl distributed by WMT'18 comprising 260M sentences or 6B tokens. Another model is trained on the English newscrawl data comprising 193M sentences or 5B tokens. We learn a joint Byte-Pair-Encoding (BPE; Sennrich et al., 2016) vocabulary of 37K types on the German and English newscrawl and train the language models with this vocabulary. We consider two benchmarks: Most experiments are run on the WMT'18 English-German (en-de) news translation task and we validate our findings on the WMT'18 English-Turkish (en-tr) news task. For WMT'18 English-German, the training corpus consists of all available bitext excluding the ParaCrawl corpus and we remove sentences longer than 250 tokens as well as sentence-pairs with a source/target length ratio exceeding 1.5. This results in 5.18M sentence pairs. We tokenize all data with the Moses tokenizer BIBREF8 and apply the BPE vocabulary learned on the monolingual corpora.
