A Gated Dilated Convolution with Attention Model for Clinical Cloze-Style Reading Comprehension

The machine comprehension research of clinical medicine has great potential value in practical application, but it has not received sufficient attention and many existing models are very time consuming for the cloze-style machine reading comprehension. In this paper, we study the cloze-style machine...
