Inferential Machine Comprehension: Answering Questions by Recursively Deducing the Evidence Chain from Text
2019
Proceedings of the 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
This paper focuses on the topic of inferential machine comprehension, which aims to fully understand the meanings of given text to answer generic questions, especially the ones needed reasoning skills. ...
By recursively linking the cells, the inferred results are synthesized together to form the evidence chain for reasoning, where the reasoning direction can be guided by imposing structural constraints ...
The main contributions of this paper include, • We design a new network that can answer inferential question by recursively deducing the evidence chain from the text. • We propose an effective termination ...

From LSAT: The Progress and Challenges of Complex Reasoning
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper, we take a step forward in complex reasoning by systematically studying the three challenging and domain-general tasks of the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), including analytical reasoning ...
The experimental results demonstrate that our system endows itself a certain complex reasoning ability, especially the fundamental reading comprehension and challenging logical reasoning capacities. ...
Further research can focus on improving evidence retrieval and predicting answers from noised evidence.
