Papers with reading comprehension-style question answering
Training a Ranking Function for Open-Domain Question Answering (N18-4)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in machine reading have inspired researchers to combine Information Retrieval with machine reading to tackle open-domain QA. |
| Approach: | They propose two neural network rankers that assign scores to different passages based on their likelihood of containing the answer to a given question. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models achieve human level performance in open-domain QA compared to reading comprehension-style QA because it is difficult to retrieve the pieces of paragraphs that contain the answer to the question. |
