Sentence embeddings can be used to resolve this issue. They provides the vector representation for sentences&nbsp; along with semantic information from which the machine gets clear understanding about the context. In this work, Question Answering system using universal sentence encoder (USE) with transformer encoder variant USE<sub>Trans</sub> is developed to extract the sentence with the correct answer for a user query from the context. If the sentence having correct answer is identified efficiently it would be much more easier to retrieve the exact answer from the sentence.The developed model helps to provide exact answer to user query. The developed model is evaluated on SQuAD-2.0 dataset. Compared to USE<sub>DAN, </sub>it is observed that USE<sub>Trans</sub> yields better accuracy.</p> ER -
