Demonstrates how to modify Keras to reproduce the published QA models (Feng et. al. 2015 and Tan et. 2016), showing exact layer choices, loss and optimizer tweaks, and deployment notes. Shows word embeddings, vanilla RNN vs LSTM training where LSTM fixes vanishing gradients and drives error far lower, and an attention-wrapped LSTM that highlights the answer token. Provides runnable notebooks and code, trains on GPUs and cloud like Google Compute Engine, and reports ~60% top‑1 accuracy on the published answer‑selection benchmarks.
