Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for performing reading comprehension with machine learning. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to a Neural Symbolic Reader (example implementations of which may be referred to as NeRd), which includes a reader to encode the passage and question, and a programmer to generate a program for multi-step reasoning. By using operators like span selection, the program can be executed over a natural language text passage to generate an answer to a natural language text question. NeRd is domain-agnostic such that the same neural architecture works for different domains. Further, NeRd is compositional such that complex programs can be generated by compositionally applying the symbolic operators.
