• Authors: Romina Etezadi, Mehrnoush Shamsfard
• Abstract summary: We propose a knowledge-based approach for answering complex questions in Persian. We handle multi-constraint and multi-hop questions by building their set of possible corresponding logical forms. The answer to the question is built from the answer to the logical form, extracted from the knowledge graph.

• Abstract: Research on open-domain question answering (QA) has a long tradition. A challenge in this domain is answering complex questions (CQA) that require complex inference methods and large amounts of knowledge. In low resource languages, such as Persian, there are not many datasets for open-domain complex questions and also the language processing toolkits are not very accurate. In this paper, we propose a knowledge-based approach for answering Persian complex questions using Farsbase; the Persian knowledge graph, exploiting PeCoQ; the newly created complex Persian question dataset. In this work, we handle multi-constraint and multi-hop questions by building their set of possible corresponding logical forms. Then Multilingual-BERT is used to select the logical form that best describes the input complex question syntactically and semantically. The answer to the question is built from the answer to the logical form, extracted from the knowledge graph. Experiments show that our approach outperforms other approaches in Persian CQA.

  This paper addresses the problem of generating questions from a given context and an answer, specifically focusing on questions that require multi-hop reasoning across an extended context. We propose MultiFactor, a novel QG framework based on multi-level content planning. Specifically, MultiFactor includes two components: FA-model, which simultaneously selects key phrases and generates full answers, and Q-model which takes the generated full answer as an additional input to generate questions.

  We propose a framework with Multifaceted Improvements for Conversational open-domain Question Answering (MICQA) Firstly, the proposed KL-divergence based regularization is able to lead to a better question understanding for retrieval and answer reading. Second, the added post-ranker module can push more relevant passages to the top placements and be selected for reader with a two-aspect constrains. Third, the well designed curriculum learning strategy effectively narrows the gap between the golden passage settings of training and inference, and encourages the reader to find true answer without the golden passage assistance.
