Question Answering (QA) is a task that entails reasoning over natural language contexts, and many relevant works augment language models (LMs) with graph neural networks (GNNs) to encode the Knowledge Graph (KG) information. However, most existing GNN-based modules for QA do not take advantage of rich relational information of KGs and depend on limited information interaction between the LM and the KG. To address these issues, we propose Question Answering Transformer (QAT), which is designed to jointly reason over language and graphs with respect to entity relations in a unified manner. Specifically, QAT constructs Meta-Path tokens, which learn relation-centric embeddings based on diverse structural and semantic relations. Then, our Relation-Aware Self-Attention module comprehensively integrates different modalities via the Cross-Modal Relative Position Bias, which guides information exchange between relevant entities of different modalities. We validate the effectiveness of QAT on commonsense question answering datasets like CommonsenseQA and OpenBookQA, and on a medical question answering dataset, MedQA-USMLE. On all the datasets, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance. Our code is available at http://github.com/mlvlab/QAT.

使用从预先接受训练的语言模型（LMS）和知识图表（LMS）和知识图表（kgs）回答问题的问题提出了两个挑战：给定QA上下文（问答选择），方法需要（i）从大型千克识别相关知识，（ii）对QA上下文和kg进行联合推理。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种新的模型，QA-GNN，它通过两个关键创新解决了上述挑战：（i）相关评分，我们使用LMS来估计KG节点相对于给定的QA上下文的重要性，以及（ii）联合推理，我们将QA上下文和kg连接到联合图，并通过图形神经网络相互更新它们的表示。我们评估了QA基准的模型（CommanSeaseQA，OpenBookQA）和生物医学（MedQa-USMLE）域名。QA-GNN优于现有的LM和LM + kg模型，并表现出可解释和结构化推理的能力，例如，正确处理问题的否定。

现有的kg增强模型用于问题回答主要专注于设计精心图形神经网络（GNN）以模拟知识图（KG）。但是，它们忽略了（i）有效地融合和推理过问题上下文表示和kg表示，并且（ii）在推理期间自动从嘈杂的KG中选择相关节点。在本文中，我们提出了一种新颖的型号，其通过LMS和GNN的联合推理和动态KGS修剪机制解决了上述限制。具体而言，ConntLK通过新的密集双向注意模块在LMS和GNN之间执行联合推理，其中每个问题令牌参加KG节点，每个KG节点都会参加问题令牌，并且两个模态表示熔断和通过多次熔断和更新。步互动。然后，动态修剪模块使用通过联合推理产生的注意重量来递归修剪无关的kg节点。我们在CommanSENSEQA和OpenBookQA数据集上的结果表明，我们的模态融合和知识修剪方法可以更好地利用相关知识来推理。

这项工作调查了以知识图（kg）形式的外部知识来源的理解问题的学习和推理的挑战。我们提出了一种新型的图形神经网络体系结构，称为动态相关图形网络（DRGN）。 DRGN根据问题和答案实体在给定的KG子图上运行，并使用节点之间的相关得分来动态建立新的边缘，以在图形网络中学习节点表示。相关性的这种显式用法作为图表具有以下优点，a）模型可以利用现有关系，重新缩放节点权重，并影响邻里节点的表示方式在kg子图中汇总的方式，b）恢复推理所需的千克中缺失的边缘。此外，作为副产品，由于考虑了问题节点与图形实体之间的相关性，我们的模型改善了处理负面问题。与最新发布的结果相比，我们提出的方法在两个质量检查基准CommonSenseQA和OpenBookQA上显示了竞争性能。

语言模型（LM）是否可以通过固有的关系推理能力在知识库中的地面问题解决方案（QA）任务？尽管以前仅使用LMS的模型在许多质量检查任务上都看到了一些成功，但最新的方法包括知识图（KG），以补充LMS的逻辑驱动的隐式知识。但是，有效从结构化数据（例如KGS）中提取信息，使LMS保持开放性问题，并且当前模型依靠图形技术来提取知识。在本文中，我们建议仅利用LMS将基于知识的问题的语言和知识与灵活性，覆盖范围和结构化推理相结合。具体而言，我们设计了一种知识构建方法，该方法可以通过动态跳跃来检索相关背景，该方法比传统的基于GNN的技术表达了更全面的。我们设计了一种深层融合机制，以进一步弥合语言和知识之间交换瓶颈的信息。广泛的实验表明，我们的模型始终证明了其对CommenSensenSENSENSESQA基准测试的最先进性能，从而展示了仅利用LMS将LMS稳健地质量质量质量质量质量固定到知识库的可能性。

我们研究了学习因果推理对程序文本的挑战，以回答“如果...”何时需要外常识知识。我们提出了一个新颖的多跳图推理模型，以1）有效地从大知识图中提取常识子图；2）通过推理从常识子图获得的表示以及问题与上下文之间的上下文相互作用来预测因果答案。我们评估了WIQA基准测试的模型，并与最近的模型相比实现了最先进的性能。

Knowledge graph (KG) link prediction aims to infer new facts based on existing facts in the KG. Recent studies have shown that using the graph neighborhood of a node via graph neural networks (GNNs) provides more useful information compared to just using the query information. Conventional GNNs for KG link prediction follow the standard message-passing paradigm on the entire KG, which leads to over-smoothing of representations and also limits their scalability. On a large scale, it becomes computationally expensive to aggregate useful information from the entire KG for inference. To address the limitations of existing KG link prediction frameworks, we propose a novel retrieve-and-read framework, which first retrieves a relevant subgraph context for the query and then jointly reasons over the context and the query with a high-capacity reader. As part of our exemplar instantiation for the new framework, we propose a novel Transformer-based GNN as the reader, which incorporates graph-based attention structure and cross-attention between query and context for deep fusion. This design enables the model to focus on salient context information relevant to the query. Empirical results on two standard KG link prediction datasets demonstrate the competitive performance of the proposed method.

预训练的语言模型（PTLM）已显示出在自然语言任务上表现良好。许多先前的作品都以通过知识图（KGS）标记的关系链接的实体的形式利用结构性常识来协助PTLM。检索方法使用kg作为单独的静态模块，该模块限制了覆盖范围，因为kgs包含有限的知识。生成方法训练PTLMS kg三倍以提高获得知识的规模。但是，对符号KG实体的培训限制了其在涉及自然语言文本的任务中的适用性，在这些任务中，它们忽略了整体上下文。为了减轻这种情况，我们提出了一个以句子为条件的常识性上下文化器（COSE-CO）作为输入，以使其在生成与输入文本的整体上下文相关的任务中通常可用。为了训练Cose-Co，我们提出了一个新的数据集，其中包括句子和常识知识对。 COSE-CO推断出的知识是多种多样的，并且包含了基础KG中不存在的新实体。我们增强了在多选质量质量检查和开放式常识性推理任务中产生的知识，从而改善了CSQA，ARC，QASC和OBQA数据集的当前最佳方法。我们还展示了其在改善释义生成任务的基线模型方面的适用性。

Multi-modal and multi-hop question answering aims to answer a question based on multiple input sources from different modalities. Previous methods retrieve the evidence separately and feed the retrieved evidence to a language model to generate the corresponding answer. However, these methods fail to build connections between candidates and thus cannot model the inter-dependent relation during retrieval. Moreover, the reasoning process over multi-modality candidates can be unbalanced without building alignments between different modalities. To address this limitation, we propose a Structured Knowledge and Unified Retrieval Generation based method (SKURG). We align the sources from different modalities via the shared entities and map them into a shared semantic space via structured knowledge. Then, we utilize a unified retrieval-generation decoder to integrate intermediate retrieval results for answer generation and adaptively determine the number of retrieval steps. We perform experiments on two multi-modal and multi-hop datasets: WebQA and MultimodalQA. The results demonstrate that SKURG achieves state-of-the-art performance on both retrieval and answer generation.

问题回答（QA）对知识库（KBS）的挑战是充满挑战的，因为所需的推理模式多样化，本质上是无限的，类型的推理模式。但是，我们假设以大型KB为基础，以回答各自子图中各个实体的查询类型所需的推理模式。利用不同子图的本地社区之间的这种结构相似性，我们引入了一个半参数模型（cbr-subg），（i）一个非参数组件，每个查询，每个查询，都会动态检索其他类似的$ k $ - $ - $ - $ - near-neart-tebrienk（KNN）培训查询以及查询特定的子图和（ii）训练的参数组件，该参数分量可以从KNN查询的子图中识别（潜在的）推理模式，然后将其应用于目标查询的子图。我们还提出了一种自适应子图收集策略，以选择特定于查询的compact子图，从而使我们可以扩展到包含数十亿个事实的完整freebase kb。我们表明，CBR-SUBG可以回答需要子图推理模式的查询，并在几个KBQA基准上的最佳模型竞争性能。我们的子图收集策略还会产生更多紧凑的子图（例如，webQSP的尺寸减小55 \％，而将答案召回的召回率增加4.85 \％）\ footNote {代码，模型和子码头可在\ url {https://github.com上获得。 /rajarshd/cbr-subg}}。

在知识图上回答自然语言问题（KGQA）仍然是通过多跳推理理解复杂问题的巨大挑战。以前的努力通常利用与实体相关的文本语料库或知识图（kg）嵌入作为辅助信息来促进答案选择。但是，实体之间隐含的富裕语义远未得到很好的探索。本文提议通过利用关系路径的混合语义来改善多跳kgqa。具体而言，我们基于新颖的旋转和规模的实体链接链接预测框架，集成了关系路径的明确文本信息和隐式kg结构特征。在三个KGQA数据集上进行的广泛实验证明了我们方法的优势，尤其是在多跳场景中。进一步的调查证实了我们方法在问题和关系路径之间的系统协调，以识别答案实体。

Knowledge graphs (KG) have served as the key component of various natural language processing applications. Commonsense knowledge graphs (CKG) are a special type of KG, where entities and relations are composed of free-form text. However, previous works in KG completion and CKG completion suffer from long-tail relations and newly-added relations which do not have many know triples for training. In light of this, few-shot KG completion (FKGC), which requires the strengths of graph representation learning and few-shot learning, has been proposed to challenge the problem of limited annotated data. In this paper, we comprehensively survey previous attempts on such tasks in the form of a series of methods and applications. Specifically, we first introduce FKGC challenges, commonly used KGs, and CKGs. Then we systematically categorize and summarize existing works in terms of the type of KGs and the methods. Finally, we present applications of FKGC models on prediction tasks in different areas and share our thoughts on future research directions of FKGC.

完成知识三胞胎的任务具有广泛的下游应用程序。结构和语义信息在知识图完成中起着重要作用。与以前依靠知识图的结构或语义的方法不同，我们建议将语义共同嵌入知识三胞胎的自然语言描述及其结构信息。我们的方法通过对概率结构化损失进行微调预训练的语言模型来嵌入完成任务的知识图，其中语言模型的正向通过捕获语义和损失重建结构。我们对各种知识图基准的广泛实验证明了我们方法的最新性能。我们还表明，由于语义的更好使用，我们的方法可以显着提高低资源制度的性能。代码和数据集可在https://github.com/pkusjh/lass上找到。

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has been revolutionized by the use of Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) such as BERT. Despite setting new records in nearly every NLP task, PLMs still face a number of challenges including poor interpretability, weak reasoning capability, and the need for a lot of expensive annotated data when applied to downstream tasks. By integrating external knowledge into PLMs, \textit{\underline{K}nowledge-\underline{E}nhanced \underline{P}re-trained \underline{L}anguage \underline{M}odels} (KEPLMs) have the potential to overcome the above-mentioned limitations. In this paper, we examine KEPLMs systematically through a series of studies. Specifically, we outline the common types and different formats of knowledge to be integrated into KEPLMs, detail the existing methods for building and evaluating KEPLMS, present the applications of KEPLMs in downstream tasks, and discuss the future research directions. Researchers will benefit from this survey by gaining a quick and comprehensive overview of the latest developments in this field.

预训练的语言模型（PLM）在各种自然语言理解任务上取得了巨大的成功。另一方面，对PLM的简单微调对于特定于领域的任务可能是次优的，因为它们不可能涵盖所有域中的知识。尽管PLM的自适应预培训可以帮助他们获得特定于领域的知识，但需要大量的培训成本。此外，自适应预训练可能会通过造成灾难性忘记其常识来损害PLM在下游任务上的表现。为了克服PLM适应性适应性预训练的这种局限性，我们提出了一个新颖的域名适应框架，用于将PLMS创造为知识增强语言模型适应性（KALA），该框架调节了PLM的中间隐藏表示与域中的中间隐藏表示，由实体和实体和实体和实体和实体构成他们的关系事实。我们验证了Kala在问题答案中的性能，并在各个域的多个数据集上命名实体识别任务。结果表明，尽管在计算上有效，但我们的Kala在很大程度上优于适应性预训练。代码可在以下网址获得：https：//github.com/nardien/kala/。

Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) which are trained on large text corpus through the self-supervised learning method, have yielded promising performance on various tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP). However, though PLMs with huge parameters can effectively possess rich knowledge learned from massive training text and benefit downstream tasks at the fine-tuning stage, they still have some limitations such as poor reasoning ability due to the lack of external knowledge. Incorporating knowledge into PLMs has been tried to tackle these issues. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of Knowledge-Enhanced Pre-trained Language Models (KE-PLMs) to provide a clear insight into this thriving field. We introduce appropriate taxonomies respectively for Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Natural Language Generation (NLG) to highlight the focus of these two kinds of tasks. For NLU, we take several types of knowledge into account and divide them into four categories: linguistic knowledge, text knowledge, knowledge graph (KG), and rule knowledge. The KE-PLMs for NLG are categorized into KG-based and retrieval-based methods. Finally, we point out some promising future directions of KE-PLMs.

Machine reading comprehension (MRC) is a long-standing topic in natural language processing (NLP). The MRC task aims to answer a question based on the given context. Recently studies focus on multi-hop MRC which is a more challenging extension of MRC, which to answer a question some disjoint pieces of information across the context are required. Due to the complexity and importance of multi-hop MRC, a large number of studies have been focused on this topic in recent years, therefore, it is necessary and worth reviewing the related literature. This study aims to investigate recent advances in the multi-hop MRC approaches based on 31 studies from 2018 to 2022. In this regard, first, the multi-hop MRC problem definition will be introduced, then 31 models will be reviewed in detail with a strong focus on their multi-hop aspects. They also will be categorized based on their main techniques. Finally, a fine-grain comprehensive comparison of the models and techniques will be presented.

Recent improvements in KG-to-text generation are due to additional auxiliary pre-training tasks designed to give the fine-tune task a boost in performance. These tasks require extensive computational resources while only suggesting marginal improvements. Here, we demonstrate that by fusing graph-aware elements into existing pre-trained language models, we are able to outperform state-of-the-art models and close the gap imposed by additional pre-training tasks. We do so by proposing a mask structure to capture neighborhood information and a novel type encoder that adds a bias to the graph-attention weights depending on the connection type. Experiments on two KG-to-text benchmark datasets show our models are competitive while involving fewer parameters and no additional pre-training tasks. By formulating the problem as a framework, we can interchange the various proposed components and begin interpreting KG-to-text generative models based on the topological and type information found in a graph.

在本文中，我们提出了多跳问题回答的两个阶段模型。第一阶段是一个层次图网络，该网络用于对多跳问题进行推理，并能够使用文档的自然结构（即段落，问题，句子和实体）捕获不同级别的粒度。推理过程是转换为节点分类任务（即，段落节点和句子节点）。第二阶段是语言模型微调任务。在一句话中，第一阶段使用图形神经网络选择和连接支持句子作为一个段落，第二阶段在语言模型微调范式中找到答案跨度。

As an important variant of entity alignment (EA), multi-modal entity alignment (MMEA) aims to discover identical entities across different knowledge graphs (KGs) with multiple modalities like images. However, current MMEA algorithms all adopt KG-level modality fusion strategies but ignore modality differences among individual entities, hurting the robustness to potential noise involved in modalities (e.g., unidentifiable images and relations). In this paper we present MEAformer, a multi-modal entity alignment transformer approach for meta modality hybrid, to dynamically predict the mutual correlation coefficients among modalities for instance-level feature fusion. A modal-aware hard entity replay strategy is also proposed for addressing vague entity details. Extensive experimental results show that our model not only achieves SOTA performance on multiple training scenarios including supervised, unsupervised, iterative, and low resource, but also has limited parameters, optimistic speed, and good interpretability. Our code will be available soon.
