Abstract
A question answering system includes: a neural network tokenizer module configured to determine a token representation of a question to be answered and token representations of candidate paragraphs of a present reasoning path for the question, respectively; a neural network module configured to: transform the token representation of the question and the token representations of the candidate paragraphs of the present reasoning path into vector representations; and append a first variable to the vector representations to produce a second variable; a search module configured to: select the candidate paragraphs from a knowledge database to extend a present reasoning path based on lexical relevance of the candidate paragraphs to the question; and selectively add ones of the candidate paragraphs to the present reasoning path; and an answer inference network module configured to selectively determine an answer to the question based on multiple different portions of the present reasoning path.
