| Challenge: | Existing question answering (QA) datasets fail to train QA systems to perform complex reasoning and provide explanations for answers. |
| Approach: | They propose a new dataset with 113k Wikipedia-based question-answer pairs with four key features: (1) the questions require finding and reasoning over multiple supporting documents to answer; (2) the questions are diverse and not constrained to any pre-existing knowledge bases or knowledge schemas; (3) the questions provide sentence-level supporting facts required for reasoning; and (4) a type of factoid comparison questions to test QA systems’ ability to extract relevant facts and perform necessary comparison. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset has 113k Wikipedia-based question-answer pairs and four key features that make it challenging for the latest QA systems. |
Locate Then Ask: Interpretable Stepwise Reasoning for Multi-hop Question Answering (2022.coling-1)

| Challenge: | Existing methods for multi-hop reasoning ignore grounding on supporting facts of each step, which tends to generate inaccurate decompositions. |
| Approach: | They propose an interpretable stepwise reasoning framework that incorporates supporting sentences and questions at each intermediate step and utilizes the inference of the current hop for the next until reasoning out the final result. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can boost performance and yield a better interpretable reasoning process without decomposition supervision. |
Understanding and Improving Zero-shot Multi-hop Reasoning in Generative Question Answering (2022.coling-1)

| Challenge: | Generative question answering (QA) models generate answers to complex questions, but their mechanism for doing so is still poorly understood. |
| Approach: | They decompose multi-hop questions into multiple corresponding single-hop question chains and find marked inconsistency in QA models’ answers on these pairs of ostensibly identical question chains. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models lack zero-shot multi-hop reasoning ability when trained on single-hop questions and on logical forms. |
