Interactive-KBQA: Multi-Turn Interactions for Knowledge Base Question Answering with Large Language Models (2024.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Knowledge base question answering (KBQA) is a challenging task, particularly in parsing intricate questions into executable logical forms. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework to generate logical forms through direct interaction with knowledge bases (KBs) by annotating a dataset with step-wise reasoning processes. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework achieves competitive results on the WebQuestionsSP, ComplexWebQuestIONS, KQA Pro, and MetaQA datasets with a minimal number of examples (shots). Importantly, the proposed model supports manual intervention, allowing for the iterative refinement of LLM outputs. |
