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: The basic concept is to use a phone-discriminative model to produce frame-level phonetic features, and then use these features to enhance RNN LID systems that were originally built with raw acoustic features. The initial step is therefore feature combination, with the phonetic feature used as auxiliary information to assist acoustic RNN LID. This is improved further, as additional research identified that a simpler model using only the phonetic feature as the RNN LID input provides even better performance. We call this RNN model based on phonetic features the phonetic temporal neural LID approach, or PTN LID. As well as having a simplified model structure, the PTN offers deeper insight into the LID task by rediscovering the value of the phonetic temporal property in language discrimination. 

SOLUTION: What is the main contribution of the paper? 

PROBLEM: We evaluated our model on three benchmark datasets, namely the CNN/DailyMail news highlights dataset BIBREF24, the New York Times Annotated Corpus (NYT; BIBREF25), and XSum BIBREF22.

SOLUTION: What are the datasets used for evaluation?

PROBLEM: Experiments ::: Baselines
For comparison, we select several public models as baselines including semantic parsing models: BiDAF BIBREF3, an MRC model which utilizes a bi-directional attention flow network to encode the question and passage;

QANet BIBREF12, which utilizes convolutions and self-attentions as the building blocks of encoders to represent the question and passage;

BERT BIBREF23, a pre-trained bidirectional Transformer-based language model which achieves state-of-the-art performance on lots of public MRC datasets recently;

and numerical MRC models: NAQANet BIBREF6, a numerical version of QANet model.

NAQANet+, an enhanced version of NAQANet implemented by ourselves, which further considers real number (e.g. “2.5”), richer arithmetic expression, data augmentation, etc. Syn Dep BIBREF6, the neural semantic parsing model (KDG) BIBREF22 with Stanford dependencies based sentence representations;

OpenIE BIBREF6, KDG with open information extraction based sentence representations;

SRL BIBREF6, KDG with semantic role labeling based sentence representations;

and traditional MRC models:
