• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel method for question answering over knowledge graphs based on graph-to-segment mapping, designed to improve the understanding of natural language questions. Our approach is grounded in semantic parsing, a key technique for interpreting question utterances. The main challenges arise from handling implicit entities and relations, as well as complex constraints such as temporal conditions, ordinality, and aggregation within the context of a knowledge graph. To address these issues, our framework integrates both rule-based and neural methods to parse and construct accurate, comprehensive semantic segment sequences. These sequences are then assembled into semantic query graphs, providing precise representations of question utterances. We formulate question semantic parsing as a sequence generation task, employing an encoder-decoder neural network to map natural language questions into semantic segments. Furthermore, to enhance the identification of implicit entities and relations, we incorporate a graph neural network that leverages knowledge graph context to enrich question representations. Experimental evaluations on two benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superior performance of our model in semantic parsing for knowledge graph question answering.

  We propose a novel approach leveraging graph convolutional networks (GCNs) to better model the inherent structure of questions. By representing questions as graphs, our method allows GCNs to learn from the interconnected nature of language more effectively. Our findings demonstrate that GCNs, augmented with phrase-based features, offer a promising solution for more accurate and context-aware question classification.

  We propose SEEK, a novel approach for explainable representations to support relation prediction in knowledge graphs. It is based on identifying relevant shared semantic aspects between entities and learning representations for each subgraph. We evaluate SEEK on two real-world relation prediction tasks: protein-protein interaction prediction and gene-disease association prediction.

  We propose a framework of question parsing and execution on textual QA. The proposed framework can be viewed as a top-down question parsing followed by a bottom-up answer backtracking. Our experiments on MuSiQue, 2WikiQA, HotpotQA, and NQ show that the proposed parsing and hybrid execution framework outperforms existing approaches in supervised, few-shot, and zero-shot settings.

  Temporal grounding is the task of locating a specific segment from an untrimmed video according to a query sentence. We introduce a new Compositional Temporal Grounding task and construct two new dataset splits. We argue that the inherent structured semantics inside the videos and language is the crucial factor to achieve compositional generalization.

  Graph-level learning has been applied to many tasks including comparison, regression, classification, and more. Traditional approaches to learning a set of graphs rely on hand-crafted features, such as substructures. Deep learning has helped graph-level learning adapt to the growing scale of graphs by extracting features automatically and encoding graphs into low-dimensional representations.
