  • Patent number: 10572598
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to generating a relevance score on a given natural language answer to a natural language query for ranking the answer among other answers for the query, while generating a summary passage and a likely query to the given passage. For instance, multi-layered, recurrent neural networks may be used to encode the query and the passage, along with a multi-layered neural network for information retrieval features, to generate a relevant score for the passage. A multi-layered, recurrent neural network with soft attention and sequence-to-sequence learning task may be used as a decoder to generate a summary passage. A common encoding neural network may be employed to encode the passage for the ranking and the summarizing, in order to present concise and accurate natural language answers to the query.
