Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed. The method includes extracting at least one identifier from a formula in a document and extracting text passages in the document that contain the identifier(s). The method also includes selecting an identifier and extracted text passages containing the identifier, as well as generating identifier-passage pairs for the selected text passages and the identifier. Further, the method includes submitting the identifier-passage pairs to a question answering (QA) model, which generates candidate answers from the selected text passages. A definition of the identifier is then selected from the candidate answers.
