Abstract

Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatus, media, and other implementations that include a method for document processing (particularly for training of a machine learning question answering platform, and for ingestion of documents). The method includes obtaining a question dataset (e.g., either from public or private repositories of questions) comprising one or more source questions for document processing by a machine learning question-and-answer system that provides answer data in response to question data submitted by a user, modifying a source question from the question dataset to generate one or more augmented questions with equivalent semantic meanings as that of the source question, and processing a document with the one or more augmented questions.
