Disambiguate First Parse Later: Generating Interpretations for Ambiguity Resolution in Semantic Parsing

2025-02-25 · Irina Saparina, Mirella Lapata

Handling ambiguity and underspecification is an important challenge in natural language interfaces, particularly for tasks like text-to-SQL semantic parsing. We propose a modular approach that resolves ambiguity using natural language interpretations before mapping these to logical forms (e.g., SQL queries). Although LLMs excel at parsing unambiguous utterances, they show strong biases for ambiguous ones, typically predicting only preferred interpretations. We constructively exploit this bias to generate an initial set of preferred disambiguations and then apply a specialized infilling model to identify and generate missing interpretations. To train the infilling model, we introduce an annotation method that uses SQL execution to validate different meanings. Our approach improves interpretation coverage and generalizes across datasets with different annotation styles, database structures, and ambiguity types.

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…

LaViSA: A Language and Vision Structural Ambiguity Benchmark

2026-06-17 · Lee Sangmyeong, Shun Inadumi, Koichiro Yoshino arxiv

Structural ambiguity arises when a single sentence admits multiple valid interpretations due to its syntactic structure, posing a fundamental challenge for language understanding. Visual scenes serve as useful cues for r…

Do You See What I Mean? Visual Resolution of Linguistic Ambiguities

GPTKB 2.0: Direct Construction of Disambiguated Knowledge Bases from Large Language Models

2026-08-04 · Yujia Hu, Tuan-Phong Nguyen, Simon Razniewski arxiv

Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) is a core NLP task, and recent work proposes generating knowledge bases directly from large language models (LLMs), treating the model itself as the knowledge source. However,…

Answering Ambiguous Questions through Generative Evidence Fusion and Round-Trip Prediction
