Abstract

In this chapter, we enable machine reading comprehension (MRC) with linguistic knowledge to improve answering long, complex questions. The traditional MRC is integrated with information retrieval-based candidate answer selection component which ranks answers relying on syntactic and semantic generalization. We also explore an MRC answer-correction scenario where the resulting MRC answer is evaluated by generalization and updated if necessary. We observe a performance boost of 7%–10% by enabling MRC with syntactic, semantic, and discourse features depending on the question complexity; the greater the question complexity, the stronger the boost.
