Embodiments described herein provide a pipelined natural language question answering system that improves a BERT-based system. Specifically, the natural language question answering system uses a pipeline of neural networks each trained to perform a particular task. The context selection network identifies premium context from context for the question. The question type network identifies the natural language question as a yes, no, or span question and a yes or no answer to the natural language question when the question is a yes or no question. The span extraction model determines an answer span to the natural language question when the question is a span question.
