Explore, Propose, and Assemble: An Interpretable Model for Multi-Hop Reading Comprehension (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for multi-hop reading comprehension only require a single-hop reasoning, meaning that the evidence needed to answer the question is scattered in a set of supporting documents. |
| Approach: | They propose an interpretable 3-module system called Explore-Propose-Assemble reader (EPAr) that explores and connects relevant information from multiple documents in order to answer a question about the context. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model approximates coarse-to-fine-grained comprehension behavior of human readers when facing multiple long documents. |
