Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying answers to questions using neural networks. One of the methods includes receiving an input text passage and an input question string; processing the input text passage using an encoder neural network to generate a respective encoded representation for each passage token in the input text passage; at each time step: processing a decoder input using a decoder neural network to update the internal state of the decoder neural network; and processing the respective encoded representations and a preceding output of the decoder neural network using a matching vector neural network to generate a matching vector for the time step; and generating an answer score that indicates how well the input text passage answers a question posed by the input question string.
