How do I make an app that generates answers from an uploaded text file automatically?
Hahaha, if you can do this, then you’ll have a multi million dollar product. However, it is do-able, theoretically….
- Parsing – Parse, or split, out the sentences
 - Metadata enrichment – Attack the sentences with all sorts of NLP APIs, to enrich the corpus of sentences with various and sundry metadata
 - Question generation – Do question generation on the enriched dataset
 - Recommender system – Pair the questions with their most likely answers (sentences), into question-answer pairs
 - Machine learning – Feed the question-answer pairs into a neural network
 - Dialog system – Write an engine that can query the trained neural network in natural language
 - Bingo – You’ve got a multi million dollar product
