MEDICAL QUESTION ANSWERING SYSTEM

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating answers to medical questions using neural networks and other components. In one aspect, a method includes: obtaining question data representing a medical question; obtaining a plurality of document snippets from a medical database that stores medical documents; for each document snippet in the plurality of document snippets, determining a relevance score for the document snippet by using a ranking neural network based on the document snippet and the medical question; selecting, based at least in part on the relevance scores, a subset of the plurality of document snippets; generating a prompt that includes (i) the medical question and (ii) the subset of the plurality of document snippets; and generating an answer to the medical question based on processing the prompt using a generative neural network.
