System and method for extracting scientific measurement context using targeted question answers

A method for performing a search for a set of file results includes receiving, at a computing device, an electronic file; identifying a numerical value in the file; extracting the numerical value and a text portion around the numerical value from the file to obtain an extracted text; creating a vector representation of the extracted text; generating a series of questions associated with the extracted text; generating answers to the series of questions based on the vector representation of the extracted text; determining a context associated with the numerical value based on the answers to the plurality of questions; and storing the numerical value and the context associated with the numerical value in a database. 一种用于执行对文件结果集的搜索的方法包括：在计算装置处接收电子文件；识别所述文件中的数值；从所述文件提取所述数值和在所述数值周围的文本部分以获得提取文本；创建所述提取文本的向量表示；产生与所述提取文本相关联的系列问题；基于所述提取文本的所述向量表示产生对所述系列问题的回答；基于对所述多个问题的所述回答，确定与所述数值相关联的背景；和将所述数值和与所述数值相关联的所述背景存储于数据库中。
