• Abstract: Scholarly communication is a rapid growing field containing a wealth of knowledge. However, due to its unstructured and document format, it is challenging to extract useful information from them through conventional document retrieval methods. Scholarly knowledge graphs solve this problem, by representing the documents in a semantic network, providing, hidden insights, summaries and ease of accessibility through queries. Naturally, question answering for scholarly graphs expands the accessibility to a wider audience. But some of the knowledge in this domain is still presented as unstructured text, thus requiring a hybrid solution for question answering systems. In this paper, we present a two step solution using open source Large Language Model(LLM): Llama3.1 for Scholarly-QALD dataset. Firstly, we extract the context pertaining to the question from different structured and unstructured data sources: DBLP, SemOpenAlex knowledge graphs and Wikipedia text. Secondly, we implement prompt engineering to improve the information retrieval performance of the LLM. Our approach achieved an F1 score of 40% and also observed some anomalous responses from the LLM, that are discussed in the final part of the paper.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) are adept at answering simple (single-hop) questions. As the complexity of the questions increase, the performance of LLMs degrades. Recent methods try to reduce this burden by integrating structured knowledge triples into the raw text. We propose to use a knowledge graph (KG) that is context-aware and is distilled to contain query-relevant information.

  Researchers produce thousands of scholarly documents containing valuable technical knowledge. Document-level question answering (QA) offers a flexible framework where human-posed questions can be adapted to extract diverse knowledge. We present a three-stage document QA approach: text extraction from PDF; evidence retrieval from extracted texts to form well-posed contexts; and QA to extract knowledge from contexts to return high-quality answers.

  We present a novel perspective for solving knowledge-intensive tasks by replacing document retrievers with large language model generators. We call our method generate-then-read (GenRead), which first prompts a large language model to generate contextutal documents based on a given question, and then reads the generated documents to produce the final answer.

  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.

  We use the data-to-text method as a means for encoding structured knowledge for knowledge-intensive applications, i.e. open-domain question answering (QA) Specifically, we propose a verbalizer-retriever-reader framework for open-domain QA over data and text where verbalized tables from Wikipedia and triples from Wikidata are used as augmented knowledge sources. We show that our Unified Data and Text QA, UDT-QA, can effectively benefit from the expanded knowledge index, leading to large gains over text-only baselines.

  In open question answering (QA), the answer to a question is produced by retrieving and then analyzing documents that might contain answers to the question. Most open QA systems have considered only retrieving information from unstructured text. We present a new large-scale dataset Open Table-and-Text Question Answering (OTT-QA) to evaluate performance on this task.
