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.

Question: 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.

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


Question: We compare our approaches with related approaches of pivoting, multilingual NMT (MNMT) BIBREF19, and cross-lingual transfer without pretraining BIBREF16.  The results show that our approaches consistently outperform other approaches across languages and datasets, especially surpass pivoting, which is a strong baseline in the zero-shot scenario that multilingual NMT systems often fail to beat BIBREF19, BIBREF20, BIBREF23.

Answer: which multilingual approaches do they compare with?


Question: 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.

Answer:
What dataset do they use?
