Hierarchical Gated Recurrent Neural Tensor Network for Answer Triggering

In this paper, we focus on the problem of answer triggering addressed by Yang et al. (2015), which is a critical component for a real-world question answering system. We employ a hierarchical gated recurrent neural tensor (HGRNT) model to capture both the context information and the deep interactions between the candidate answers and the question. Our result on F value achieves 42.6%, which surpasses the baseline by over 10 %.
