Abstract
A computer implemented method for multi-document question answering is performed on a server communicating with a client device over a network. The method includes receiving a runtime question from a client device and retrieving runtime documents concerning the runtime question using a search engine. Runtime answer samples are identified in the retrieved runtime documents. A neural network model, trained using distant supervision and distance based ranking loss, is used to compute runtime scores from runtime question data representing the runtime question and from a runtime answer sample representing a first portion of text from the corpus of documents, where each runtime score represents a probability an answer to the runtime question is present in the runtime answer samples. A runtime answer is selected from the runtime answer samples corresponding to the highest runtime score sent to the client device.
