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: In this paper, we first highlight the importance of TV and radio broadcast as a source of data for ASR, and the potential impact it can have. We then perform a statistical analysis of gender representation in a data set composed of four state-of-the-art corpora of French broadcast, widely used within the speech community. Finally we question the impact of such a representation on the systems developed on this data, through the perspective of an ASR system.

SOLUTION: What tasks did they use to evaluate performance for male and female speakers?

PROBLEM: To assess the consistency of annotations and also eliminate coincidental annotations, we used agreement rates, which is calculated by dividing the number of senses under each category where the annotators annotate consistently by the total number of each kind of sense. And considering the potential impact of unbalanced distribution of senses, we also used the Kappa value.

SOLUTION: Which inter-annotator metric do they use?

PROBLEM: We compare the results of our model to a baseline multi-task architecture inspired by yang2016multi. In our baseline model there are no explicit connections between tasks - the only shared parameters are in the hidden layer.

SOLUTION:
What is the baseline?
