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.

[EX Q]: Span detector. We adopt a multi-turn answer module for the span detector BIBREF1 . Formally, at time step INLINEFORM0 in the range of INLINEFORM1 , the state is defined by INLINEFORM2 . The initial state INLINEFORM3 is the summary of the INLINEFORM4 : INLINEFORM5 , where INLINEFORM6 . Here, INLINEFORM7 is computed from the previous state INLINEFORM8 and memory INLINEFORM9 : INLINEFORM10 and INLINEFORM11 . Finally, a bilinear function is used to find the begin and end point of answer spans at each reasoning step INLINEFORM12 : DISPLAYFORM0 DISPLAYFORM1

The final prediction is the average of each time step: INLINEFORM0 . We randomly apply dropout on the step level in each time step during training, as done in BIBREF1 .
[EX A]: What is the architecture of the span detector?

[EX Q]: We compare our method to the following baselines: (1) Single-task CNN: training a CNN model for each task individually; (2) Single-task FastText: training one FastText model BIBREF23 with fixed embeddings for each individual task; (3) Fine-tuned the holistic MTL-CNN: a standard transfer-learning approach, which trains one MTL-CNN model on all the training tasks offline, then fine-tunes the classifier layer (i.e. $\mathrm {M}^{(cls)}$ Figure 1 (a)) on each target task; (4) Matching Network: a metric-learning based few-shot learning model trained on all training tasks; (5) Prototypical Network: a variation of matching network with different prediction function as Eq. 9 ; (6) Convex combining all single-task models: training one CNN classifier on each meta-training task individually and taking the encoder, then for each target task training a linear combination of all the above single-task encoders with Eq. ( 24 ). 
[EX A]: Do they compare with the MAML algorithm?

[EX Q]: Two datasets are exploited in this article. Both datasets consist of plain text containing clinical narrative written in Spanish, and their respective manual annotations of sensitive information in BRAT BIBREF13 standoff format. NUBes BIBREF4 is a corpus of around 7,000 real medical reports written in Spanish and annotated with negation and uncertainty information. In order to avoid confusion between the two corpus versions, we henceforth refer to the version relevant in this paper as NUBes-PHI (from `NUBes with Personal Health Information'). The organisers of the MEDDOCAN shared task BIBREF3 curated a synthetic corpus of clinical cases enriched with sensitive information by health documentalists
