Graph-Based Knowledge Integration for Question Answering over Dialogue (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches for question answering over dialogue did not consider dialogue structure and background knowledge (e.g., relationships between speakers). |
| Approach: | They propose a method which organizes a dialogue as a "relational graph" and uses edges to represent relationships between entities to encode multi-relations knowledge for reasoning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is better at tackling complex questions requiring relational reasoning and defending adversarial attacks with distracting sentences. |
Graph Reasoning for Question Answering with Triplet Retrieval (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| 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. |
