• Abstract: The problem of answering questions using knowledge from pre-trained language models (LMs) and knowledge graphs (KGs) presents two challenges: given a QA context (question and answer choice), methods need to (i) identify relevant knowledge from large KGs, and (ii) perform joint reasoning over the QA context and KG. Here we propose a new model, QA-GNN, which addresses the above challenges through two key innovations: (i) relevance scoring, where we use LMs to estimate the importance of KG nodes relative to the given QA context, and (ii) joint reasoning, where we connect the QA context and KG to form a joint graph, and mutually update their representations through graph-based message passing. We evaluate QA-GNN on the CommonsenseQA and OpenBookQA datasets, and show its improvement over existing LM and LM+KG models, as well as its capability to perform interpretable and structured reasoning, e.g., correctly handling negation in questions.

  We studied the impact of contextual knowledge on the Question-answering (QA) objective using pre-trained language models (LMs) and knowledge graphs (KGs) We found that incorporating knowledge facts context led to a significant improvement in performance. This suggests that the integration of contextual knowledge facts may be more impactful for enhancing question answering performance.

  Commonsense question-answering (QA) methods combine the power of pre-trained Language Models (LM) with the reasoning provided by Knowledge Graphs (KG) A typical approach collects nodes relevant to the QA pair from a KG to form a Working Graph followed by reasoning using Graph Neural Networks(GNNs) We propose GrapeQA with two simple improvements on the WG: (i) Prominent Entities for Graph Augmentation identifies relevant text chunks from the QA pair and augments the WG with corresponding latent representations from the LM, and (ii) Context-Aware Node Pruning removes nodes that are less relevant to the QA

  We propose a Fine-grained Two-stage training framework (FiTs) to boost the KAQA system performance. The first stage aims at aligning representations from the PLM and the KG, thus bridging the modality gaps between them. The second stage, called knowledge-aware fine-tuning, aims to improve the model's joint reasoning ability.

  We propose Question Answering Transformer (QAT), which is designed to jointly reason over language and graphs with respect to entity relations. Specifically, QAT constructs Meta-Path tokens, which learn relation-centric embeddings based on diverse structural and semantic relations. We validate the effectiveness of QAT on commonsense question answering datasets like CommonsenseQA and OpenBookQA, and on a medical question answering dataset, MedQA-USMLE.

  We propose VQA-GNN, a new VQA model that performs bidirectional fusion between unstructured and structured multimodal knowledge to obtain unified knowledge representations. Specifically, we inter-connect the scene graph and the concept graph through a super node that represents the QA context. On two challenging VQA tasks, our method outperforms strong baseline VQA methods by 3.2% on VCR and 4.6% on GQA, suggesting its strength in performing concept-level reasoning.

  Question Generation (QG) is the task of generating a plausible question for a passage, answer> pair. We make use of freely available news summary data, transforming declarative sentences into appropriate questions using dependency parsing, named entity recognition and semantic role labeling. The resulting questions are then combined with the original news articles to train an end-to-end neural QG model.
