Q: In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and a question separated with a
. You have to answer the question based on the context.
We suspect the absence of decoding in maximum likelihood estimation as a cause behind this inconsistency, and suggest investigating sequence-level learning as an alternative in the future. Inconsistency may arise from the lack of decoding in solving this optimization problem. Maximum likelihood learning fits the model $p_{ heta }$ using the data distribution, whereas a decoded sequence from the trained model follows the distribution $q_{\mathcal {F}}$ induced by a decoding algorithm. Based on this discrepancy, we make a strong conjecture: we cannot be guaranteed to obtain a good consistent sequence generator using maximum likelihood learning and greedy decoding.
Question: Is infinite-length sequence generation a result of training with maximum likelihood?
A:
There are is a strong conjecture that it might be the reason but it is not proven.
