Question answering is the NLP task of automatically producing a direct answer to a question posed in natural language, rather than a list of links. Systems may extract the answer from a given document, retrieve it from a knowledge base, or generate it with a language model grounded in company data. For example, an HR team in Rabat could deploy a QA assistant over its internal policies so employees ask «How many days of paternity leave do I get?» and receive an exact, sourced answer instantly.
