| 2022 | iLFQA: A Platform for Efficient and Accurate Long-Form Question AnsweringabstractWe present an efficient and accurate long-form question-answering platform, dubbed iLFQA (i.e., short for intelligent Long-Form Question Answering). The purpose of iLFQA is to function as a platform which accepts unscripted questions and efficiently produces semantically meaningful, explanatory, and accurate long-form responses. iLFQA consists of a number of modules for zero-shot classification, text retrieval, and text generation to generate answers to questions based on an open-domain knowledge base. iLFQA is unique in the question answering space because it is an example of a deployable and efficient long-form question answering system. Question answering systems exist in many forms, but long-form question answering remains relatively unexplored, and to the best of our knowledge none of the existing long-form question answering systems are shown to be sufficiently efficient to be deployable. We have made the source code and implementation details of iLFQA available for the benefit of researchers and practitioners in this field. With this demonstration, we present iLFQA as an open-domain, deployable, and accurate open-source long-form question answering platform. Rhys Butler, Vishnu Dutt Duggirala, Farnoush Banaei Kashani |
