Question Dependent Recurrent Entity Network for Question Answering

Andrea Madotto, Giuseppe Attardi

Question Answering is a task which requires building models capable of providing answers to questions expressed in human language. Full question answering involves some form of reasoning ability. We introduce a neural network architecture for this task, which is a form of Memory Network, that recognizes entities and their relations to answers through a focus attention mechanism. Our model is named Question Dependent Recurrent Entity Network and extends Recurrent Entity Network by exploiting aspects of the question during the memorization process. We validate the model on both synthetic and real datasets: the bAbI question answering dataset and the CNN & DailyNews reading comprehension dataset. In our experiments, the models achieved a State-of-The-Art in the former and competitive results in the latter.
