Abstract
In embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an assertion-based question answering manner. After a question and the related passage are obtained, an assertion answer to the question is determined based on content of the passage, and the assertion answer has a predetermined structure and represents a complete semantic meaning. Then, the assertion answer to the question may be outputted to the user. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the question and the relevant passage are used as input, and a semi-structured assertion answer is output. The assertion answer according to embodiments of the present disclosure can provide richer semantic content than the traditional short answer, and provide a more concise expression than the traditional long answer, thereby ensuring accuracy of the answer while improving the user experience.
