Abstract

Abstract: Existing graph neural network (GNN)-based question answering (QA) methods using pre-trained language models and knowledge graphs mainly focus on building knowledge graph subgraphs and reasoning processes. However, such methods ignore the semantic differences between question context and knowledge graphs, limiting their ability to deeply mine text representations. Moreover, they fail to comprehensively consider the varying contributions of these two representations to answer prediction. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an expert relearning reasoning QA method based on knowledge graphs and a gating mechanism. This method splices and fuses the question context representation with the inferred knowledge graph representation, and randomly assigns the fused representation vector to the expert network to relearn the entity semantic features associated with the question context and knowledge graph. By mining deeper hidden knowledge and incorporating the gating mechanism, the model accurately scores the question context and the inferred knowledge graph representation, dynamically adjusting their contribution to the answer prediction, and improving prediction accuracy. The proposed method was tested on the CommonsenseQA dataset and OpenBookQA dataset, achieving accuracy improvements of 2.08% and 1.23% over the QA-GNN method, respectively.
