• Abstract: This study explores the realm of knowledge base question answering (KBQA). KBQA is considered a challenging task, particularly in parsing intricate questions into executable logical forms. Traditional semantic parsing (SP)-based methods require extensive data annotations, which result in significant costs. Recently, the advent of few-shot in-context learning, powered by large language models (LLMs), has showcased promising capabilities. However, fully leveraging LLMs to parse questions into logical forms in low-resource scenarios poses a substantial challenge. To tackle these hurdles, we introduce Interactive-KBQA, a framework designed to generate logical forms through direct interaction with knowledge bases (KBs). Within this framework, we have developed three generic APIs for KB interaction. For each category of complex question, we devised exemplars to guide LLMs through the reasoning processes. Our method achieves competitive results on the WebQuestionsSP, ComplexWebQuestions, KQA Pro, and MetaQA datasets with a minimal number of examples (shots). Importantly, our approach supports manual intervention, allowing for the iterative refinement of LLM outputs. By annotating a dataset with step-wise reasoning processes, we showcase our model's adaptability and highlight its potential for contributing significant enhancements to the field.

  Retrieval-augmented Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a promising approach to enhancing response accuracy in several tasks, such as Question-Answering (QA) We propose a novel adaptive QA framework, that can dynamically select the most suitable strategy for (retrieval-augmented) LLMs based on the query complexity. We validate our model on a set of open-domain QA datasets, covering multiple query complexities, and show that ours enhances the overall efficiency and accuracy of QA systems.

  We propose a general Knowledge-Injected Curriculum Pretraining framework (KICP) to achieve comprehensive KG learning and exploitation for Knowledge-based question answering tasks. The KI module first injects knowledge into the LM by generating KG-centered pretraining corpus, and generalizes the process into three key steps. The KA module learns knowledge from the generated corpus with LM equipped with an adapter as well as keeps its original natural language understanding ability. The CR module follows human reasoning patterns to construct three corpora with increasing difficulties of reasoning, and further trains the LM from easy to hard in a curriculum manner.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong capabilities in language understanding and can be used to solve this task. Existing methods bypass this challenge by initially employing LLMs to generate drafts of logic forms without schema-specific details. We propose a simple In-Context Understanding (ICSU) method that enables LLMs to directly understand schemas by leveraging in-context learning.
