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.

[Q]: In this section, we present the experimental setting for this task

Corpus: SEAME (South East Asia Mandarin-English), a conversational Mandarin-English code-switching speech corpus consists of spontaneously spoken interviews and conversations BIBREF8 . 
[A]: What languages are explored in the work?


[Q]: Our method is tested on Twitter datasets. This microblogging platform has been widely used to analyze discussions and polarization BIBREF12, BIBREF13, BIBREF14, BIBREF15, BIBREF2. It is a natural choice for these kind of problems, as it represents one of the main fora for public debate in online social media BIBREF15, it is a common destination for affiliative expressions BIBREF16 and is often used to report and read news about current events BIBREF17. An extra advantage of Twitter for this kind of studies is the availability of real-time data generated by millions of users. Other social media platforms offer similar data-sharing services, but few can match the amount of data and the accompanied documentation provided by Twitter. One last asset of Twitter for our work is given by retweets, whom typically indicate endorsement BIBREF18 and hence become a useful concept to model discussions as we can set “who is with who". However, our method has a general approach and it could be used a priori in any social network. In this work we report excellent result tested on Twitter but in future work we are going to test it in other social networks.
[A]: What social media platform is observed?


[Q]: Sentiment Classification
We first conduct a multi-task experiment on sentiment classification.

We use 16 different datasets from several popular review corpora used in BIBREF20 . These datasets consist of 14 product review datasets and two movie review datasets.

All the datasets in each task are partitioned randomly into training set, development set and testing set with the proportion of 70%, 10% and 20% respectively. Transferability of Shared Sentence Representation
With attention mechanism, the shared sentence encoder in our proposed models can generate more generic task-invariant representations, which can be considered as off-the-shelf knowledge and then be used for unseen new tasks. Introducing Sequence Labeling as Auxiliary Task
A good sentence representation should include its linguistic information. Therefore, we incorporate sequence labeling task (such as POS Tagging and Chunking) as an auxiliary task into the multi-task learning framework, which is trained jointly with the primary tasks (the above 16 tasks of sentiment classification).
