Abstract
A method and an apparatus for machine reading comprehension, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are provided. In the method, a paragraph-question pair is obtained, and subword vectors corresponding to subwords in the paragraph-question pair are generated. Then, for each subword, relative positions of the subword with respect to the other subwords are determined based on distances, and self-attention information of the subword in a first part and mutual attention information of the subword in a second part are calculated by using the relative positions and the subword vector. Then, a fusion vector of the subword is generated based on the self-attention information and the mutual attention information. Then, the fusion vectors of the subwords are input to a decoder of a machine reading comprehension model so as to obtain an answer predicted by the decoder.
