Enhancing Question Generation with Commonsense Knowledge

Question generation (QG) is to generate natural and grammatical questions that can be answered by a specific answer for a given context. Previous sequence-to-sequence models suffer from a problem that asking high-quality questions requires commonsense knowledge as backgrounds, which in most cases can not be learned directly from training data, resulting in unsatisfactory questions deprived of knowledge. In this paper, we propose a multi-task learning framework to introduce commonsense knowledge into question generation process. We first retrieve relevant commonsense knowledge triples from mature databases and select triples with the conversion information from source context to question. Based on these informative knowledge triples, we design two auxiliary tasks to incorporate commonsense knowledge into the main QG model, where one task is Concept Relation Classification and the other is Tail Concept Generation. Experimental results on SQuAD show that our proposed methods are able to noticeably improve the QG performance on both automatic and human evaluation metrics, demonstrating that incorporating external commonsense knowledge with multi-task learning can help the model generate human-like and high-quality questions.
