Abstract: A question-and-answer system directed to a specific domain optimally utilizes reference documents that are semantically complete for that domain. Semantic completeness of a document is assessed using quality control questions (provided by subject matter experts) applied to the Q&A system followed by analysis of the proposed answers. That analysis is carried out using a cogency module having a feedforward neural network which receives metadata features of the document such as document ownership, document priority, and document type. A domain-optimized corpus for the Q&A system is built by so assessing multiple documents in a document collection, and adding each reference document that is reported as being semantically complete to the domain-optimized corpus. Thereafter, the deep learning question-and-answer system can receive a natural language query from a user, find a responsive answer in the documents while applying the domain-optimized corpus, and provide that answer to the user.

Abstract: A method of training a neural network includes receiving a text corpus containing a labeled portion and an unlabeled portion, extracting local n-gram features and a sequence of the local n-gram features from the text corpus, processing the text corpus, using convolutional layers, according to the local n-gram features to determine capsule parameters of capsules configured to preserve the sequence of the local n-gram features, performing a forward-oriented dynamic routing between the capsules using the capsule parameters to extract global characteristics of the text corpus, and processing the text corpus according to the global characteristics using a long short-term memory layer to extract global sequential text dependencies from the text corpus, wherein parameters of the neural network are updated according to the local n-gram features, the capsule parameters, global characteristics, and global sequential text dependencies.
