Heuristic Heterogeneous Graph Reasoning Networks for Fact Verification
Existing studies on table-based fact verification generally capture linguistic evidence from claim-table subgraphs or logical evidence from program-table subgraphs independently. However, there is insufficient association interaction between the two types of evidence, which makes it difficult to obtain valuable consistency features between them. In this work, we propose heuristic heterogeneous graph reasoning networks (H2GRN) to capture the shared consistent evidence by strengthening associations between linguistic and logical evidence from two perspectives of graph construction and reasoning mechanism. Specifically, 1) to enhance the close connectivity of the two subgraphs, rather than simply connecting two subgraphs by the nodes with the same content (the constructed graph in this way has severe sparsity), we construct a heuristic heterogeneous graph , which relies on claim semantics as heuristic knowledge to guide the connections of the program-table subgraph, and in turn expands the connectivity of the claim-table subgraph through logical information of programs as heuristic knowledge; and 2) to establish adequate association interaction between linguistic evidence and logical evidence, we design multiview reasoning networks . In detail, we propose local-view multihop knowledge reasoning (MKR) networks to enable the current node to establish association not only with one-hop neighbors, but also with multihop neighbors, to capture context-richer evidence information. We execute MKR on heuristic claim-table and program-table subgraphs to learn context-richer linguistic evidence and logical evidence, respectively. Meanwhile, we develop global-view graph dual-attention networks (DAN) that execute on the entire heuristic heterogeneous graph, reinforcing global-level significant consistency evidence. Finally, the consistency fusion layer is devised to weaken the disagreement between the three types of evidence to assist in capturing consistent shared evidence for verifying claims. Experiments on TABFACT and FEVEROUS demonstrate the effectiveness of H2GRN.
