Question answering (QA) aims at finding exact answers to a user’s question from a large collection of documents. Most QA systems combine information retrieval with extraction techniques to identify a set of likely candidates and then utilize some ranking strategy to generate the final answers. This ranking process can be challenging, as it entails identifying the relevant answers amongst many irrelevant ones. This is more challenging in multi-strategy QA, in which multiple answering agents are used to extract answer candidates. As answer candidates come from different agents with different score distributions, how to merge answer candidates plays an important role in answer ranking. In this paper, we propose a unified probabilistic framework which combines multiple evidence to address challenges in answer ranking and answer merging. The hypotheses of the paper are that: (1) the framework effectively combines multiple evidence for identifying answer relevance and their correlation in answer ranking, (2) the framework supports answer merging on answer candidates returned by multiple extraction techniques, (3) the framework can support list questions as well as factoid questions, (4) the framework can be easily applied to a different QA system, and (5) the framework significantly improves performance of a QA system. An extensive set of experiments was done to support our hypotheses and demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework. All of the work substantially extends the preliminary research in Ko et al. (2007a). A probabilistic framework for answer selection in question answering. In: Proceedings of NAACL/HLT. 相似文献

Medical question and answering is a crucial aspect of medical artificial intelligence, as it aims to enhance the efficiency of clinical diagnosis and improve treatment outcomes. Despite the numerous methods available for medical question and answering, they tend to overlook the data generation mechanism’s imbalance and the pseudo-correlation caused by the task’s text characteristics. This pseudo-correlation is due to the fact that many words in the question and answering task are irrelevant to the answer but carry significant weight. These words can affect the feature representation and establish a false correlation with the final answer. Furthermore, the data imbalance mechanism can cause the model to blindly follow a large number of classes, leading to bias in the final answer. Confounding factors, including the data imbalance mechanism, bias due to textual characteristics, and other unknown factors, may also mislead the model and limit its performance.In this study, we propose a new counterfactual-based approach that includes a feature encoder and a counterfactual decoder. The feature encoder utilizes ChatGPT and label resetting techniques to create counterfactual data, compensating for distributional differences in the dataset and alleviating data imbalance issues. Moreover, the sampling prior to label resetting also helps us alleviate the data imbalance issue. Subsequently, label resetting can yield better and more balanced counterfactual data. Additionally, the construction of counterfactual data aids the subsequent counterfactual classifier in better learning causal features. The counterfactual decoder uses counterfactual data compared with real data to optimize the model and help it acquire the causal characteristics that genuinely influence the label to generate the final answer. The proposed method was tested on PubMedQA, a medical dataset, using machine learning and deep learning models. The comprehensive experiments demonstrate that this method achieves state-of-the-art results and effectively reduces the false correlation caused by confounders. 相似文献

Question answering systems assist users in satisfying their information needs more precisely by providing focused responses to their questions. Among the various systems developed for such a purpose, community-based question answering has recently received researchers’ attention due to the large amount of user-generated questions and answers in social question-and-answer platforms. Reusing such data sources requires an accurate information retrieval component enhanced by a question classifier. The question classification gives the system the possibility to have information about question categories to focus on questions and answers from relevant categories to the input question. In this paper, we propose a new method based on unsupervised Latent Dirichlet Allocation for classifying questions in community-based question answering. Our method first uses unsupervised topic modeling to extract topics from a large amount of unlabeled data. The learned topics are then used in the training phase to find their association with the available category labels in the training data. The category mixture of topics is finally used to predict the label of unseen data. 相似文献

As one of the challenging cross-modal tasks, video question answering (VideoQA) aims to fully understand video content and answer relevant questions. The mainstream approach in current work involves extracting appearance and motion features to characterize videos separately, ignoring the interactions between them and with the question. Furthermore, some crucial semantic interaction details between visual objects are overlooked. In this paper, we propose a novel Relation-aware Graph Reasoning (ReGR) framework for video question answering, which first combines appearance–motion and location–semantic multiple interaction relations between visual objects. For the interaction between appearance and motion, we design the Appearance–Motion Block, which is question-guided to capture the interdependence between appearance and motion. For the interaction between location and semantics, we design the Location–Semantic Block, which utilizes the constructed Multi-Relation Graph Attention Network to capture the geometric position and semantic interaction between objects. Finally, the question-driven Multi-Visual Fusion captures more accurate multimodal representations. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets, TGIF-QA, MSVD-QA, and MSRVTT-QA, demonstrate the superiority of our proposed ReGR compared to the state-of-the-art methods. 相似文献

Question answering websites are becoming an ever more popular knowledge sharing platform. On such websites, people may ask any type of question and then wait for someone else to answer the question. However, in this manner, askers may not obtain correct answers from appropriate experts. Recently, various approaches have been proposed to automatically find experts in question answering websites. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid approach to effectively find experts for the category of the target question in question answering websites. Our approach considers user subject relevance, user reputation and authority of a category in finding experts. A user’s subject relevance denotes the relevance of a user’s domain knowledge to the target question. A user’s reputation is derived from the user’s historical question-answering records, while user authority is derived from link analysis. Moreover, our proposed approach has been extended to develop a question dependent approach that considers the relevance of historical questions to the target question in deriving user domain knowledge, reputation and authority. We used a dataset obtained from Yahoo! Answer Taiwan to evaluate our approach. Our experiment results show that our proposed methods outperform other conventional methods. 相似文献

Recent studies point out that VQA models tend to rely on the language prior in the training data to answer the questions, which prevents the VQA model from generalization on the out-of-distribution test data. To address this problem, approaches are designed to reduce the language distribution prior effect by constructing negative image–question pairs, while they cannot provide the proper visual reason for answering the question. In this paper, we present a new debiasing framework for VQA by Learning to Sample paired image–question and Prompt for given question (LSP). Specifically, we construct the negative image–question pairs with certain sampling rate to prevent the model from overly relying on the visual shortcut content. Notably, question types provide a strong hint for answering the questions. We utilize question type to constrain the sampling process for negative question–image pairs, and further learn the question type-guided prompt for better question comprehension. Extensive experiments on two public benchmarks, VQA-CP v2 and VQA v2, demonstrate that our model achieves new state-of-the-art results in overall accuracy, i.e., 61.95% and 65.26%. 相似文献

Question answering (QA) is the task of automatically answering a question posed in natural language. Currently, there exists several QA approaches, and, according to recent evaluation results, most of them are complementary. That is, different systems are relevant for different kinds of questions. Somehow, this fact indicates that a pertinent combination of various systems should allow to improve the individual results. This paper focuses on this problem, namely, the selection of the correct answer from a given set of responses corresponding to different QA systems. In particular, it proposes a supervised multi-stream approach that decides about the correctness of answers based on a set of features that describe: (i) the compatibility between question and answer types, (ii) the redundancy of answers across streams, as well as (iii) the overlap and non-overlap information between the question–answer pair and the support text. Experimental results are encouraging; evaluated over a set of 190 questions in Spanish and using answers from 17 different QA systems, our multi-stream QA approach could reach an estimated QA performance of 0.74, significantly outperforming the estimated performance from the best individual system (0.53) as well as the result from best traditional multi-stream QA approach (0.60). 相似文献

Among existing knowledge graph based question answering (KGQA) methods, relation supervision methods require labeled intermediate relations for stepwise reasoning. To avoid this enormous cost of labeling on large-scale knowledge graphs, weak supervision methods, which use only the answer entity to evaluate rewards as supervision, have been introduced. However, lacking intermediate supervision raises the issue of sparse rewards, which may result in two types of incorrect reasoning path: (1) incorrectly reasoned relations, even when the final answer entity may be correct; (2) correctly reasoned relations in a wrong order, which leads to an incorrect answer entity. To address these issues, this paper considers the multi-hop KGQA task as a Markov decision process, and proposes a model based on Reward Integration and Policy Evaluation (RIPE). In this model, an integrated reward function is designed to evaluate the reasoning process by leveraging both terminal and instant rewards. The intermediate supervision for each single reasoning hop is constructed with regard to both the fitness of the taken action and the evaluation of the unreasoned information remained in the updated question embeddings. In addition, to lead the agent to the answer entity along the correct reasoning path, an evaluation network is designed to evaluate the taken action in each hop. Extensive ablation studies and comparative experiments are conducted on four KGQA benchmark datasets. The results demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in terms of answering accuracy. 相似文献

We present Biased LexRank, a method for semi-supervised passage retrieval in the context of question answering. We represent a text as a graph of passages linked based on their pairwise lexical similarity. We use traditional passage retrieval techniques to identify passages that are likely to be relevant to a user’s natural language question. We then perform a random walk on the lexical similarity graph in order to recursively retrieve additional passages that are similar to other relevant passages. We present results on several benchmarks that show the applicability of our work to question answering and topic-focused text summarization. 相似文献

We propose answer extraction and ranking strategies for definitional question answering using linguistic features and definition terminology. A passage expansion technique based on simple anaphora resolution is introduced to retrieve more informative sentences, and a phrase extraction method based on syntactic information of the sentences is proposed to generate a more concise answer. In order to rank the phrases, we use several evidences including external definitions and definition terminology. Although external definitions are useful, it is obvious that they cannot cover all the possible targets. The definition terminology score which reflects how the phrase is definition-like is devised to assist the incomplete external definitions. Experimental results show that the proposed answer extraction and ranking method are effective and also show that our proposed system is comparable to state-of-the-art systems. 相似文献

This paper describes how questions can be characterized for question answering (QA) along different facets and focuses on questions that cannot be answered directly but can be divided into simpler ones so that they can be answered directly using existing QA capabilities. Since individual answers are composed to generate the final answer, we call this process as compositional QA. The goal of the proposed QA method is to answer a composite question by dividing it into atomic ones, instead of developing an entirely new method tailored for the new question type. A question is analyzed automatically to determine its class, and its sub-questions are sent to the relevant QA modules. Answers returned from the individual QA modules are composed based on the predetermined plan corresponding to the question type. The experimental results based on 615 questions show that the compositional QA approach outperforms the simple routing method by about 17%. Considering 115 composite questions only, the F-score was almost tripled from the baseline. 相似文献

Community question answering (CQA) services that enable users to ask and answer questions have become popular on the internet. However, lots of new questions usually cannot be resolved by appropriate answerers effectively. To address this question routing task, in this paper, we treat it as a ranking problem and rank the potential answerers by the probability that they are able to solve the given new question. We utilize tensor model and topic model simultaneously to extract latent semantic relations among asker, question and answerer. Then, we propose a learning procedure based on the above models to get optimal ranking of answerers for new questions by optimizing the multi-class AUC (Area Under the ROC Curve). Experimental results on two real-world CQA datasets show that the proposed method is able to predict appropriate answerers for new questions and outperforms other state-of-the-art approaches. 相似文献
