Neural Generative Question Answering

چکیده
This paper presents an end-to-end neural network model, named Neural Generative Question Answering (GENQA), that can generate answers to simple factoid questions, both in natural language. More specifically, the model is built on the encoder-decoder framework for sequence-to-sequence learning, while equipped with the ability to access an embedded knowledge-base through an attention-like mechanism. The model is trained on a corpus of question-answer pairs, with their associated triples in the given knowledge-base. Empirical study shows the proposed model can effectively deal with the language variation of the question and generate a right answer by referring to the facts in the knowledge-base. The experiment on question answering demonstrates that the proposed model can outperform the embedding-based QA model as well as the neural dialogue models trained on the same data.

Neural Variational Inference for Text Processing
Recent advances in neural variational inference have spawned a renaissance in deep latent variable models. In this paper we introduce a generic variational inference framework for generative and conditional models of text. While traditional variational methods derive an analytic approximation for the intractable distributions over latent variables, here we construct an inference network conditi...
متن کاملData Augmentation for Visual Question Answering
Data augmentation is widely used to train deep neural networks for image classification tasks. Simply flipping images can help learning by increasing the number of training images by a factor of two. However, data augmentation in natural language processing is much less studied. Here, we describe two methods for data augmentation for Visual Question Answering (VQA). The first uses existing sema...
متن کاملProposing Plausible Answers for Open-ended Visual Question Answering
Answering open-ended questions is an essential capability for any intelligent agent. One of the most interesting recent open-ended question answering challenges is Visual Question Answering (VQA) which attempts to evaluate a system’s visual understanding through its answers to natural language questions about images. There exist many approaches to VQA, the majority of which do not exhibit deepe...
متن کاملNeural Contextual Conversation Learning with Labeled Question-Answering Pairs
Neural conversational models tend to produce generic or safe responses in different contexts, e.g., reply “Of course” to narrative statements or “I don’t know” to questions. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end approach to avoid such problem in neural generative models. Additional memory mechanisms have been introduced to standard sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) models, so that context can be...
متن کاملBuilding End-To-End Dialogue Systems Using Generative Hierarchical Neural Network Models
We investigate the task of building open domain, conversational dialogue systems based on large dialogue corpora using generative models. Generative models produce system responses that are autonomously generated word-by-word, opening up the possibility for realistic, flexible interactions. In support of this goal, we extend the recently proposed hierarchical recurrent encoder-decoder neural ne...
