Abstract
The technology disclosed relates to an end-to-end neural network for question answering, referred to herein as 'dynamic coattention network (DCN)'. Roughly described, the DCN includes an encoder neural network and a coattentive encoder that capture the interactions between a question and a document in a so-called 'coattention encoding'. The DCN also includes a decoder neural network and highway maxout networks that process the coattention encoding to estimate start and end positions of a phrase in the document that responds to the question.
