Answer Selection

47 papers with code • 6 benchmarks • 10 datasets

Answer Selection is the task of identifying the correct answer to a question from a pool of candidate answers. This task can be formulated as a classification or a ranking problem.

Recurrently Controlled Recurrent Networks

vanzytay/NIPS2018_RCRN NeurIPS 2018

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) such as long short-term memory and gated recurrent units are pivotal building blocks across a broad spectrum of sequence modeling problems.

BERTSel: Answer Selection with Pre-trained Models

BPYap/BERTSel 18 May 2019

we are the first to explore the performance of fine-tuning BERT for answer selection.

Sequential Attention with Keyword Mask Model for Community-based Question Answering

sheep-for/question_answer_matching NAACL 2019

So the QA pairs capture features and information from both question text and answer text, interacting and improving vector representations iteratively through hops.

Propagate-Selector: Detecting Supporting Sentences for Question Answering via Graph Neural Networks

david-yoon/propagate-selector LREC 2020

In this study, we propose a novel graph neural network called propagate-selector (PS), which propagates information over sentences to understand information that cannot be inferred when considering sentences in isolation.

A Gated Self-attention Memory Network for Answer Selection

laituan245/StackExchangeQA IJCNLP 2019

Answer selection is an important research problem, with applications in many areas.

Neural Duplicate Question Detection without Labeled Training Data

UKPLab/emnlp2019-duplicate_question_detection IJCNLP 2019

We show that our proposed approaches are more effective in many cases because they can utilize larger amounts of unlabeled data from cQA forums.

Joint Learning of Answer Selection and Answer Summary Generation in Community Question Answering

dengyang17/wikihowQA 22 Nov 2019

Community question answering (CQA) gains increasing popularity in both academy and industry recently.

Review-guided Helpful Answer Identification in E-commerce

isakzhang/answer-helpfulness-prediction 13 Mar 2020

In this paper, we propose the Review-guided Answer Helpfulness Prediction (RAHP) model that not only considers the interactions between QA pairs but also investigates the opinion coherence between the answer and crowds' opinions reflected in the reviews, which is another important factor to identify helpful answers.

Contextualized Embeddings based Transformer Encoder for Sentence Similarity Modeling in Answer Selection Task

tahmedge/CETE-LREC LREC 2020

In this paper, we utilize contextualized word embeddings with the transformer encoder for sentence similarity modeling in the answer selection task.

MultiCQA: Zero-Shot Transfer of Self-Supervised Text Matching Models on a Massive Scale

ukplab/emnlp2020-multicqa EMNLP 2020

We investigate the model performances on nine benchmarks of answer selection and question similarity tasks, and show that all 140 models transfer surprisingly well, where the large majority of models substantially outperforms common IR baselines.
