Knowledge-Aided Open-Domain Question Answering
Open-domain question answering (QA) aims to find the answer to a question from a large collection of documents.Though many models for single-document machine comprehension have achieved strong performance, there is still much room for improving open-domain QA systems since document retrieval and answer reranking are still unsatisfactory. Golden documents that contain the correct answers may not be correctly scored by the retrieval component, and the correct answers that have been extracted may be wrongly ranked after other candidate answers by the reranking component. One of the reasons is derived from the independent principle in which each candidate document (or answer) is scored independently without considering its relationship to other documents (or answers). In this work, we propose a knowledge-aided open-domain QA (KAQA) method which targets at improving relevant document retrieval and candidate answer reranking by considering the relationship between a question and the documents (termed as question-document graph), and the relationship between candidate documents (termed as document-document graph). The graphs are built using knowledge triples from external knowledge resources. During document retrieval, a candidate document is scored by considering its relationship to the question and other documents. During answer reranking, a candidate answer is reranked using not only its own context but also the clues from other documents. The experimental results show that our proposed method improves document retrieval and answer reranking, and thereby enhances the overall performance of open-domain question answering.
