Neural Question Answering at BioASQ 5B
2017
BioNLP 2017
At the core of our system, we use FastQA, a state-ofthe-art neural QA system. ...
This paper describes our submission to the 2017 BioASQ challenge. We participated in Task B, Phase B which is concerned with biomedical question answering (QA). ...
Conclusion In this paper, we summarized the system design of our BioASQ 5B submission for factoid and list questions. We use a neural architecture which is trained end-to-end on the QA task. ...
