• Abstract: In this work, we analyse the role of output vocabulary for text-to-text (T2T) models on the task of SPARQL semantic parsing. We perform experiments within the the context of knowledge graph question answering (KGQA), where the task is to convert questions in natural language to the SPARQL query language. We observe that the query vocabulary is distinct from human vocabulary. Language Models (LMs) are pre-dominantly trained for human language tasks, and hence, if the query vocabulary is replaced with a vocabulary more attuned to the LM tokenizer, the performance of models may improve. We carry out carefully selected vocabulary substitutions on the queries and find absolute gains in the range of 17% on the GrailQA dataset.

  We model the subgraph retrieval task as a conditional generation task handled by small language models. Our base generative subgraph retrieval model, consisting of only 220M parameters, competitive retrieval performance compared to state-of-the-art models. Our largest 3B model, when plugged with an LLM reader, sets new SOTA end-to-end performance on both the WebQSP and CWQ benchmarks.

  In-context learning using large language models has recently shown surprising results for semantic parsing tasks. This work introduces the XRICL framework, which learns to retrieve relevant English exemplars for a given query. We also include global translation exemplars for a target language to facilitate the translation process for large language models.

  We focus on the task of generating SPARQL queries from natural language questions, which can then be executed on Knowledge Graphs. We show that T5 requires special input tokenisation, but produces state of the art performance on LC-QuAD 1.0 and LC-QuAD 2.0 datasets. The methods enable semantic parsing for questions where a part of the input needs to be copied to the output query, thus enabling a new paradigm in KG semantic parsing.

Our approach could narrow the cross-lingual sentence representation distance and improve low-frequency word translation with trivial computational cost.

  To translate natural language questions into database queries, most approaches rely on a fully annotated training set. We reduce this burden using grounded in databases intermediate question representations. Our pipeline consists of two parts: a semantic that converts natural language questions into the intermediate representations and a non-trainable transpiler to the QLSPAR query language.
