• this Is the first time that a machine surpasses the human in a test of reading comprehension.
• can Be applied gradually to applications such as customer service, tutorials of museums or answers on-line medical consultations for patients.

The Institute for Data Science Technologies (IDST), a research arm of the Group Alibaba, Monday announced that has developed an artificial system of deep learning who earned a highest score that a human being in a test of reading comprehension at Stanford University.

The chinese giant of e-commerce, said through a statement that this is the first time that a machine surpasses the human in the test known as SQuAD (Stanford Question Answering Dataset), which consists of some 100,000 pairs of questions and answers based in more than 500 articles of the virtual encyclopedia Wikipedia.
