The proposed model uses a sequence-to-sequence framework that encodes the document and generates a question (answer) given an answer (question). Significant improvement in question-answering performance is observed empirically on the SQuAD corpus, confirming our hypothesis that the model benefits from jointly learning to perform both tasks. We believe the joint model offers a new perspective on machine comprehension beyond architectural engineering, and serves as a first step towards autonomous information seeking.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/a-joint-model-for-question-answering-and-question-generation-2/}, edition = {Learning to generate natural language workshop, ICML 2017}, }
