Machine Reading for Everyone
Abstract: Machine reading tools such as question answering systems have the potential to accelerate tasks that involve synthesizing information buried in vast text collections.
Recent advances in training deep neural networks have produced high performing machine reading models. However, the current success of deep learning hinges upon having large quantities of labeled data to robustly estimate model parameters. For many languages, little to no labeled data is available for this.
