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]: To simplify the task, we set up a binary classification: candidates who have been liked or shortlisted are considered part of the hirable class and others part of the not hirable class.
[A]: How is "hirability" defined?

[Q]: Suppose there are $M$ total layers, and define a subset of these layers at which to apply the loss function: $K = \lbrace k_1, k_2, ..., k_L
brace \subseteq \lbrace 1,..,M-1
brace $. The total objective function is then defined as

where $Z_{k_l}$ is the $k_l$-th Transformer layer activations, $Y$ is the ground-truth transcription for CTC and context dependent states for hybrid ASR, and $Loss(P, Y)$ can be defined as CTC objective BIBREF11 or cross entropy for hybrid ASR. T
[A]: Do they just sum up all the loses the calculate to end up with one single loss?

[Q]: Table 2 lists the accuracies of the all methods on two classifier architectures. The results show that, for various datasets on different classifier architectures, our conditional BERT contextual augmentation improves the model performances most. BERT can also augments sentences to some extent, but not as much as conditional BERT does.
[A]:
Do the authors report performance of conditional bert on tasks without data augmentation?
