Challenge: Existing methods to answer complex questions require reasoning over knowledge graphs (KGs) state-of-the-art methods constrain retrieved knowledge in local subgraphs and discard more diverse triplets that are disconnected but useful for question answering.
Approach: They propose a method to retrieve the most relevant triplets from KGs and then rerank them, which are then concatenated with questions to be fed into language models.
Outcome: The proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods on commonsenseQA and OpenbookQA datasets with 4.6% absolute accuracy.
