Option Comparison Network for Multiple-choice Reading Comprehension

Ran, Qiu, Li, Peng, Hu, Weiwei et al.

Understand

Multiple-choice reading comprehension (MCRC) is the task of selecting the correct answer from multiple options given a question and an article.

  • Existing MCRC models typically either read each option independently or compute a fixed-length representation for each option before comparing them.
  • However, humans typically compare the options at multiple-granularity level before reading the article in detail to make reasoning more efficient.
  • Mimicking humans, we propose an option comparison network (OCN) for MCRC which compares options at word-level to better identify their correlations to help reasoning.
