Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatus, media, and other implementations that include a method for document processing (particularly for training of a machine learning question answering platform, and for ingestion of documents). The method includes obtaining a question dataset (e.g., either from public or private repositories of questions) comprising one or more source questions for document processing by a machine learning question-and-answer system that provides answer data in response to question data submitted by a user, modifying a source question from the question dataset to generate one or more augmented questions with equivalent semantic meanings as that of the source question, and processing a document with the one or more augmented questions.

Abstract: A question-answering system that receive a natural-language question includes a database to provide a basis for that answer and a structured-query generator that constructs a structured query from the question and uses it to obtain an answer to the question from the database.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatus, media, design structures, and other implementations, including a method that includes receiving, at a local device from a remote device, query data representative of a question relating to source content of a source document of a repository of a plurality of source documents, with the source content being associated with transformed content accessible from the local device. The method further includes generating, in response to determination, at the local device, of a match between the query data and at least one portion of the transformed content, output data comprising one or more of a pointer to access, in the source document accessible from the remote device, at least one portion of the source document corresponding to the at least one portion of the transformed content, or a copy of the at least one portion of the source document.
