1. A machine reading comprehension (MRC) question and answer providing method comprising:
receiving, by a processing system including a processor, a user question data in a speech format or a text format;
analyzing, by the processing system, the user question data;
selecting, by the processing system, a plurality of documents from a plurality of domains corresponding to the user question data;
searching, by the processing system, in the plurality of documents, for a plurality of passages including candidates for an answer value determined as being suitable for the user question data;
obtaining, by the processing system, the candidates by inputting the user question data and the plurality of passages into a plurality of MRC question and answer units,
determining, by the processing system, the answer value based on whether a reliability value of each of the candidates exceeds a threshold value; and
providing, by the processing system, the answer value to a user.
