Propagation and Pitfalls: Reasoning-based Assessment of Knowledge Editing through Counterfactual Tasks

no code implementations31 Jan 2024 Wenyue Hua, Jiang Guo, Mingwen Dong, Henghui Zhu, Patrick Ng, Zhiguo Wang

Our analysis over the chain-of-thought generation of edited models further uncover key reasons behind the inadequacy of existing knowledge editing methods from a reasoning standpoint, involving aspects on fact-wise editing, fact recall ability, and coherence in generation.

Few-Shot Data-to-Text Generation via Unified Representation and Multi-Source Learning

no code implementations10 Aug 2023 Alexander Hanbo Li, Mingyue Shang, Evangelia Spiliopoulou, Jie Ma, Patrick Ng, Zhiguo Wang, Bonan Min, William Wang, Kathleen McKeown, Vittorio Castelli, Dan Roth, Bing Xiang

We present a novel approach for structured data-to-text generation that addresses the limitations of existing methods that primarily focus on specific types of structured data.

Importance of Synthesizing High-quality Data for Text-to-SQL Parsing

no code implementations17 Dec 2022 Yiyun Zhao, Jiarong Jiang, Yiqun Hu, Wuwei Lan, Henry Zhu, Anuj Chauhan, Alexander Li, Lin Pan, Jun Wang, Chung-Wei Hang, Sheng Zhang, Marvin Dong, Joe Lilien, Patrick Ng, Zhiguo Wang, Vittorio Castelli, Bing Xiang

In this paper, we first examined the existing synthesized datasets and discovered that state-of-the-art text-to-SQL algorithms did not further improve on popular benchmarks when trained with augmented synthetic data.

DecAF: Joint Decoding of Answers and Logical Forms for Question Answering over Knowledge Bases

1 code implementation30 Sep 2022 Donghan Yu, Sheng Zhang, Patrick Ng, Henghui Zhu, Alexander Hanbo Li, Jun Wang, Yiqun Hu, William Wang, Zhiguo Wang, Bing Xiang

Question answering over knowledge bases (KBs) aims to answer natural language questions with factual information such as entities and relations in KBs.

Improving Text-to-SQL Semantic Parsing with Fine-grained Query Understanding

no code implementations28 Sep 2022 Jun Wang, Patrick Ng, Alexander Hanbo Li, Jiarong Jiang, Zhiguo Wang, Ramesh Nallapati, Bing Xiang, Sudipta Sengupta

When synthesizing a SQL query, there is no explicit semantic information of NLQ available to the parser which leads to undesirable generalization performance.

REKnow: Enhanced Knowledge for Joint Entity and Relation Extraction

no code implementations10 Jun 2022 Sheng Zhang, Patrick Ng, Zhiguo Wang, Bing Xiang

Our generative model is a unified framework to sequentially generate relational triplets under various relation extraction settings and explicitly utilizes relevant knowledge from Knowledge Graph (KG) to resolve ambiguities.

Dual Reader-Parser on Hybrid Textual and Tabular Evidence for Open Domain Question Answering

1 code implementation ACL 2021 Alexander Hanbo Li, Patrick Ng, Peng Xu, Henghui Zhu, Zhiguo Wang, Bing Xiang

However, a large amount of world's knowledge is stored in structured databases, and need to be accessed using query languages such as SQL.

End-to-End Cross-Domain Text-to-SQL Semantic Parsing with Auxiliary Task

no code implementations17 Jun 2021 Peng Shi, Tao Yu, Patrick Ng, Zhiguo Wang

Furthermore, we propose two value filling methods to build the bridge from the existing zero-shot semantic parsers to real-world applications, considering most of the existing parsers ignore the values filling in the synthesized SQL.

Retrieval, Re-ranking and Multi-task Learning for Knowledge-Base Question Answering

no code implementations EACL 2021 Zhiguo Wang, Patrick Ng, Ramesh Nallapati, Bing Xiang

Experiments show that: (1) Our IR-based retrieval method is able to collect high-quality candidates efficiently, thus enables our method adapt to large-scale KBs easily; (2) the BERT model improves the accuracy across all three sub-tasks; and (3) benefiting from multi-task learning, the unified model obtains further improvements with only 1/3 of the original parameters.

Template-Based Question Generation from Retrieved Sentences for Improved Unsupervised Question Answering

1 code implementation ACL 2020 Alexander R. Fabbri, Patrick Ng, Zhiguo Wang, Ramesh Nallapati, Bing Xiang

Training a QA model on this data gives a relative improvement over a previous unsupervised model in F1 score on the SQuAD dataset by about 14%, and 20% when the answer is a named entity, achieving state-of-the-art performance on SQuAD for unsupervised QA.

Universal Text Representation from BERT: An Empirical Study

no code implementations17 Oct 2019 Xiaofei Ma, Zhiguo Wang, Patrick Ng, Ramesh Nallapati, Bing Xiang

We present a systematic investigation of layer-wise BERT activations for general-purpose text representations to understand what linguistic information they capture and how transferable they are across different tasks.

Multi-passage BERT: A Globally Normalized BERT Model for Open-domain Question Answering

no code implementations IJCNLP 2019 Zhiguo Wang, Patrick Ng, Xiaofei Ma, Ramesh Nallapati, Bing Xiang

To tackle this issue, we propose a multi-passage BERT model to globally normalize answer scores across all passages of the same question, and this change enables our QA model find better answers by utilizing more passages.
