Challenge: Existing studies do not consider semantic information between incomplete utterance and rewritten utterant or model the semantic structure implicitly and insufficiently.
Approach: They propose a query-Enhanced network to bring semantic structural knowledge between incomplete utterance and rewritten utteras . they adopt a fast and effective edit operation scoring network to model the relation between two tokens based on extra information and the well-designed network .
Outcome: The proposed query template explicitly brings semantic structural knowledge between the incomplete utterance and the rewritten utterant making model perceive where to refer back to or recover omitted tokens.
