CLAM: Selective Clarification for Ambiguous Questions with Generative Language Models

2022-12-15 · Lorenz Kuhn, Yarin Gal, Sebastian Farquhar

Users often ask dialogue systems ambiguous questions that require clarification. We show that current language models rarely ask users to clarify ambiguous questions and instead provide incorrect answers. To address this, we introduce CLAM: a framework for getting language models to selectively ask for clarification about ambiguous user questions. In particular, we show that we can prompt language models to detect whether a given question is ambiguous, generate an appropriate clarifying question to ask the user, and give a final answer after receiving clarification. We also show that we can simulate users by providing language models with privileged information. This lets us automatically evaluate multi-turn clarification dialogues. Finally, CLAM significantly improves language models' accuracy on mixed ambiguous and unambiguous questions relative to SotA.

Asking Clarification Questions to Handle Ambiguity in Open-Domain QA

2023-05-23 · Dongryeol Lee, Segwang Kim, Minwoo Lee, Hwanhee Lee 외

Ambiguous questions persist in open-domain question answering, because formulating a precise question with a unique answer is often challenging. Previously, Min et al. (2020) have tackled this issue by generating disambi…
