Abstract
Techniques for enhanced table and text question answering based on multi-instance, multi-answer training are presented. An answer extractor component can determine answer scores associated with candidate answer data items based on analysis of a set of data, comprising row data items of a table and passage data items associated with the table, and a context of a query of the set of data. The answer extractor component can be trained based on application of denoised single-instance and multiple-instance answer matching data associated with contexts to an answer extractor model to generate a trained answer extractor model of the answer extractor component. A query response component can determine a correct answer data item responsive to the query from the candidate answer data items based on the answer scores associated with the candidate answer data items, wherein the candidate answer data items can be reranked based on reweighted answer scores.
