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.

Example Input: For the overlapped speech recognition problem, the conditional independence assumption in the output label streams is still made as in Equation ( 5 ). Then the cross-entropy based PIT can be transformed to sequence discriminative criterion based PIT as below,

$$\begin{split} \mathcal {J}_{\text{SEQ-PIT}}=\sum _u \min _{s^{\prime }\in \mathbf {S}} \frac{1}{N} \sum _{n\in [1,N]}-\mathcal {J}_{\text{SEQ}}(\mathbf {L}_{un}^{(s^{\prime })},\mathbf {L}_{un}^{(r)}) \end{split}$$ (Eq. 44)

Different from Equation ( 7 ), the best permutation is decided by $\mathcal {J}_{\text{SEQ}}(\mathbf {L}_{un}^{(s^{\prime })},\mathbf {L}_{un}^{(r)})$ , which is the sequence discriminative criterion of taking the $s^{\prime }$ -th permutation in $n$ -th output inference stream at utterance $u$ . Similar to CE-PIT, $\mathcal {J}_{\text{SEQ}}$ of all the permutations are calculated and the minimum permutation is taken to do the optimization.
Example Output: How is the discriminative training formulation different from the standard ones?

Example Input: We conducted our experiments on the CMU ARCTIC database BIBREF33, which contains parallel recordings of professional US English speakers sampled at 16 kHz. One female (slt) was chosen as the target speaker and one male (bdl) and one female (clb) were chosen as sources. We selected 100 utterances each for validation and evaluation, and the other 932 utterances were used as training data. For the TTS corpus, we chose a US female English speaker (judy bieber) from the M-AILABS speech dataset BIBREF34 to train a single-speaker Transformer-TTS model. With the sampling rate also at 16 kHz, the training set contained 15,200 utterances, which were roughly 32 hours long.
Example Output: What datasets are experimented with?

Example Input: We crowd-sourced the collection of the dataset on Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk).
Example Output:
How was the dataset collected?
