A Multi-Size Neural Network with Attention Mechanism for Answer Selection

no code yet • 24 Apr 2021

The experimental results show that (1) multi-size neural network (MSNN) is a more useful method to capture abstract features on different levels of granularities than single/multi-layer CNNs; (2) the attention mechanism (AM) is a better strategy to derive more informative representations; (3) AM-MSNN is a better architecture for the answer selection task for the moment.
