Abstract
En 中文
Answer selection in question answering (QA) denotes a task which selects the most appropriate one from candidate answers for a given question. Previous researches on answer selection usually conduct it by isolated word-level interaction between questions and answers. In these methods, the abundant contextual information is hardly captured, which affects the choice of the correct answer. To overcome this problem, we propose to exploit a Multiple Fragment-level Interactive Network (MFIN) for this task. The MFIN can extend the search space from word-level to fragment-level, which is conducive to obtaining more contextual information. In MFIN, we apply the multiple fragment-level attention mechanism to select key fragment pairs and achieve multiple fragment-level interaction. Meanwhile, we utilize the recurrent representation encoding to integrate multiple interactive information to reduce noise. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed model is efficient compared to the existing methods on the WikiQA and SemEval-2016 CQA datasets. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
