CAESAR: Context Awareness Enabled Summary-Attentive Reader

Abstract: Comprehending meaning from natural language is a primary objective of NLP, and text comprehension is the cornerstone for achieving this objective upon which all other problems like chat bots, language translation and others can be achieved. We report a Summary-Attentive Reader we designed to better emulate the human reading process, along with a dictiontary-based solution regarding out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words in the data, to generate answer based on machine comprehension of reading passages and question from the SQuAD benchmark. Our implementation of these features with two popular models (Match LSTM and Dynamic Coattention) was able to reach close to matching the results obtained from humans.
