Abstract
Software that generates an answer to an input question using a source document by performing the following operations: (i) receiving a question; (ii) generating a plurality of vectors including a first vector representation of a term in the question and a second vector representation of a term in a source document; (iii) providing each dimension of each of the first vector representation and the second vector representation into a respective input node of an artificial neural network; (iv) determining whether the source document is relevant to answering the question based, at least in part, on an output generated by the artificial neural network; and (v) in response to determining that the source document is relevant, generating an answer to the question utilizing the source document.
