Aspects described herein include a method of conversational machine reading comprehension, as well as an associated system and computer program product. The method comprises receiving a plurality of questions relating to a context, and generating a sequence of context graphs. Each of the context graphs includes encoded representations of: (i) the context, (ii) a respective question of the plurality of questions, and (iii) a respective conversation history reflecting: (a) one or more previous questions relative to the respective question, and (b) one or more previous answers to the one or more previous questions. The method further comprises identifying, using at least one graph neural network, one or more temporal dependencies between adjacent context graphs of the sequence. The method further comprises predicting, based at least on the one or more temporal dependencies, an answer for a first question of the plurality of questions.
