System and method for providing answers to queries

Systems and methods for open domain question answering are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of providing an answer to a question includes retrieving, by a computing device, a plurality of paragraphs related to a search query; generating a plurality of question-paragraph pairs, wherein each question-paragraph pair includes the search query and a separate paragraph of the plurality of paragraphs; and determining, using the computer model, a probability that a paragraph of each of at least some of the plurality of question-paragraph pairs is an answer to the question proposed by the search query. The method further includes displaying a selected paragraph of the question-paragraph pair on the electronic display, the selected paragraph having a paragraph having the highest probability as an answer to the question proposed by the search query. 公开了用于开放域问题回答的系统和方法。在一个实施例中，一种提供对问题的答案的方法包括：由计算设备检索与搜索查询相关的多个段落；生成多个问题-段落对，其中每个问题-段落对包括搜索查询和多个段落中的单独段落；以及使用计算机模型来确定多个问题-段落对中的至少一些问题-段落对中的每个问题-段落对的段落是对由搜索查询提出的问题的答案的概率。该
