Science Question Answering using Instructional Materials
Mrinmaya Sachan, Kumar Dubey, Eric P. Xing · 2016
We provide a solution for elementary science tests using instructional materials.We posit that there is a hidden structure that explains the correctness of an answer given the question and instructional materials and present a unified max-margin framework that learns to find these hidden structures (given a corpus of questionanswer pairs and instructional materials), and uses what it learns to answer novel elementary science questions.Our evaluation shows that our framework outperforms several strong baselines.!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
