Deep Learning for Question Answering - DC NLP

Presentation by Mohit Iyyer at DC NLP October 2015 meetup Mohit Iyyer, a PhD student at the University of Maryland, describes his research into Deep Learning for Question Answering. Mohit discusses neural network models designed to solve the following types of QA problems without using any hand-engineered features: • Factoid QA: a recursive neural network that can beat humans at quiz bowl, a trivia game similar to Jeopardy • Reasoning-based QA: a memory network architecture that uses an attention mechani
