We introduce the task of acoustic question answering (AQA) in the area of acoustic
reasoning. In this task an agent learns to answer questions on the basis of acoustic context …

In this paper, we present a robust passage retrieval algorithm to extend the conventional text
question answering (Q/A) to videos. Users interact with our videoQ/A system through natural …
