Our system identifies chains of facts relevant to explain an answer to an elementary science examination question. To counter the problem of ‘spurious chains’ leading to ‘semantic drifts’, we train a ranker that uses contextualized representation of facts to score its relevance for explaining an answer to a question. Our system was ranked first w.r.t the mean average precision (MAP) metric outperforming the second best system by 14.95 points. %R 10.18653/v1/D19-5313 %U https://aclanthology.org/D19-5313 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/D19-5313 %P 101-117
