Challenge: Existing methods for Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) do not explicitly incorporate the recursive relational group structure in the given knowledge base.
Approach: They propose a method to model KBs through recursive hypergraphs using hypergraph data.
Outcome: The proposed method is based on recursive hypergraphs and has been released on multiple benchmarks.

Challenge: Existing KBQA methods focus on the natural language but ignore textual information carried by the nodes and edges.
Approach: They propose to perform relation extraction, relation matching, and relation reasoning tasks to align the natural language expressions to the relations in the KB and reason over the missing connections.
Outcome: Experiments on WebQSP show that the proposed model outperforms baselines even when the KB is incomplete.
