The goals of this project are to design and develop an Intelligent Task Management Platform with task-oriented assistants for commercial and education services, design and develop an open-domain question answering system, and design and develop a deep neural model for question answering with external Knowledge Base.

The project will utilize the following methods:

• OneTask: Intelligent Task Management Platform for commercial and education
  services
• Task-oriented Assistant: Intelligent
  assistant for customer service, content
  recommendation and question generation.
• Open-domain Question Answering:
  • Deep Neural Reasoning: With Hierarchical RNN
    and Structured Multi-hop Attention, we propose a
    position-aware and answer-aware question
    answering model.
  • Question Answering with External KB: By
    taking the advantage of precise and accurate entity
    representation in KB, we plan to develop an
    Attentive Question Answering model for KB. With
    mixture of experts, we combine them both together
    for open-domain QA.
