Abstract:

In this paper, we focus on an examination-style reading comprehension task which requires a multiple choice question solving but without a pre-given document that is supposed to contain direct evidences for answering the question. Unlike the common machine reading comprehension tasks, the concerned task requires a deep understanding into the detail-rich and semantically complex question. Such a reading comprehension task can be considered as a variant of early deep question-answering. We propose a hybrid solution to solve the problem. First, an attentive neural network to obtain the keywords in question. Then a retrieval based model is used to retrieve relative evidence in knowledge sources with the importance score of each word. The final choice is made by considering both question and evidence. Our experimental results show that our system gives state-of-the-art performance on Chinese benchmarks and shows its effectiveness on English dataset only using unstructured knowledge source.
