System and method for faster interfaces on text-based tasks using adaptive memory networks

A system for performing question answer (QA) tasks comprising:

• a bank controller using a processor device operatively coupled to a memory for organizing entities from a question answer (QA) task into progressively weighted banks within an arrangement of memory banks of an adaptive memory network;
• and
• a decoder that infers an answer for the question answer (QA) task using only highest relevance entities in the progressively weighted banks within the arrangement of memory banks of the adaptive memory network, wherein by limiting the decoder analysis to only the highest relevance entities decreases inference time, wherein the bank controller organizes the entities into progressively weighted banks within the arrangement of memory banks with the bank controller of the adaptive memory network, wherein a final memory bank having a highest relevance for highest relevance entities being closest by logical relationship to the decoder.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a computer readable pro-gram for performing question answer (QA) tasks, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:

• organizing entities into progressively weighted banks within an arrangement of memory banks with a bank controller of an adaptive memory network, wherein a final memory bank having a highest relevance for highest relevance entities is positioned closest by logical relationship to a decoder;
• and
• inferring an answer for the question answer (QA) task with the decoder analyzing only the highest relevance entities in the final memory bank, wherein by limiting the decoder analysis to only the highest relevance entities decreases inference time.
