Deep learning is the crucial technology in intelligent question answering research tasks. Nowadays, extensive studies on question answering have been conducted by adopting the methods of deep learning. The challenge is that it not only requires an effective semantic understanding model to generate a textual representation but also needs the consideration of semantic interaction between questions and answers simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a stacked Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) neural network based on the coattention mechanism to extract the interaction between questions and answers, combining cosine similarity and Euclidean distance to score the question and answer sentences. Experiments are tested and evaluated on publicly available Text REtrieval Conference (TREC) 8-13 dataset and Wiki-QA dataset. Experimental results confirm that the proposed model is efficient and particularly it achieves a higher mean average precision (MAR) of 0.7613 and mean reciprocal rank (MRR) of 0.8401 on the TREC dataset.

Wikipedia is a free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Its 19 million articles (over 3.6 million in English) have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world, and almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site. As of July 2011, there were editions of Wikipedia in 282 languages. Wikipedia was launched in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger and has become the largest and most popular general reference work on the Internet, ranking around seventh among all websites on Alexa and having 365 million readers. The name Wikipedia was coined by Larry Sanger and is a combination of wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites, from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning quick) and encyclopedia. Wikipedia''s departure from the expert-driven style of encyclopedia building and the large presence of unacademic content has been noted several times. Some have noted the importance of Wikipedia not only as an encyclopedic reference but also as a frequently updated news resource because of how quickly articles about recent events appear. Although the policies of Wikipedia strongly espouse verifiability and a neutral point of view, critics of Wikipedia accuse it of systemic bias and inconsistencies (including undue weight given to popular culture), and allege that it favors consensus over credentials in its editorial processes. Its reliability and accuracy are also targeted. A 2005 investigation in Nature showed that the science articles they compared came close to the level of accuracy of Encyclopedia Britannica and had a similar rate of serious errors.
