Clippers Tuesday: Lifeng Jin on Two Approaches to Virtual Patient Data

At Clippers tomorrow, Lifeng will present on Two Approaches to Virtual Patient Data:

The main focus of the virtual patient project is question matching. I am going to approach this problem from two different angles. The first one is to treat this problem as a sentence similarity problem and use Siamese CNN models and the second is to treat this problem as a classification problem and use feedforward neural nets. I am going to present some preliminary results on virtual patient data and Microsoft paraphrase corpus, and discuss the pros and cons of the two approaches.
