COLLABORATIVE LEARNING OF QUESTION GENERATION AND QUESTION ANSWERING

Abstract:

A method may include training a first machine learning model to perform a question generation task and a second machine learning model to perform a question answering task. The first machine learning model and the second machine learning model may be subjected to a collaborative training in which a first plurality of weights applied by the first machine learning model generating one or more questions are adjusted to minimize an error in an output of the second machine learning model answering the one or more questions. The first machine learning model and the second machine learning model may be deployed to perform a natural language processing task that requires the first machine learning model to generate a question and/or the second machine learning model to answer a question. Related methods and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
