<![CDATA[The text-based question-answering (QA) system aims to answer natural language questions by querying the external knowledge base. It can be applied to real-world systems like medical documents, research papers, and crime-related documents. Using this system, users don't have to go through the documents manually the system will understand the knowledge base and find the answer based on the text and question given to the system. Earlier state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) was recurrent neural network (RNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM). As a result, these models are hard to parallelize and poor at retaining contextual relationships across long text inputs. Today, bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) are the contemporary algorithm for NLP. BERT is not capable of handling long text sequences; it can handle 512 tokens at a time which makes it difficult for long context. Smooth inverse frequency (SIF) and the BERT model will be incorporated together to solve this challenge. BERT trained on the Stanford question answering dataset (SQuAD) and SIF model demonstrates robustness and effectiveness on long text sequences from different domains. Experimental results suggest that the proposed approach is a promising solution for QA on long text sequences.]]>
