Abstract

A method of using a computing device to improve an answer generated by a natural language question and answer system includes receiving, by a computing device, multiple questions in a natural language question and answer system. The computing device further generates multiple answers to the multiple questions. The computing device still further constructs a new training set with the generated multiple answers, where each answer is compared with a corresponding question of the multiple questions. The computing device additionally augments the new training set with one or more tokens delimiting a span of one or more of the generated multiple answers. The computing device further trains a new natural language question and answer system with the augmented new training set.
