Chains of Reasoning over Entities, Relations, and Text using Recurrent Neural Networks
Our goal is to combine the rich multistep inference of symbolic logical reasoning with the generalization capabilities of neural networks.
Question Answering on Knowledge Bases and Text using Universal Schema and Memory Networks
Existing question answering methods infer answers either from a knowledge base or from raw text.
Go for a Walk and Arrive at the Answer: Reasoning Over Paths in Knowledge Bases using Reinforcement Learning
Knowledge bases (KB), both automatically and manually constructed, are often incomplete --- many valid facts can be inferred from the KB by synthesizing existing information.
Weaver: Deep Co-Encoding of Questions and Documents for Machine Reading
This paper aims at improving how machines can answer questions directly from text, with the focus of having models that can answer correctly multiple types of questions and from various types of texts, documents or even from large collections of them.
A Systematic Classification of Knowledge, Reasoning, and Context within the ARC Dataset
We propose a comprehensive set of definitions of knowledge and reasoning types necessary for answering the questions in the ARC dataset.
Building Dynamic Knowledge Graphs from Text using Machine Reading Comprehension
We harness and extend a recently proposed machine reading comprehension (MRC) model to query for entity states, since these states are generally communicated in spans of text and MRC models perform well in extracting entity-centric spans.

An Interface for Annotating Science Questions
Recent work introduces the AI2 Reasoning Challenge (ARC) and the associated ARC dataset that partitions open domain, complex science questions into an Easy Set and a Challenge Set.
A Survey on Semantic Parsing
A significant amount of information in today's world is stored in structured and semi-structured knowledge bases.
Multi-step Retriever-Reader Interaction for Scalable Open-domain Question Answering
This paper introduces a new framework for open-domain question answering in which the retriever and the reader iteratively interact with each other.
Optimal Transport-based Alignment of Learned Character Representations for String Similarity
We evaluate STANCE's ability to detect whether two strings can refer to the same entity--a task we term alias detection.
Multi-step Entity-centric Information Retrieval for Multi-Hop Question Answering
Multi-hop question answering (QA) requires an information retrieval (IR) system that can find \emph{multiple} supporting evidence needed to answer the question, making the retrieval process very challenging.
Do Multi-hop Readers Dream of Reasoning Chains?
General Question Answering (QA) systems over texts require the multi-hop reasoning capability, i. e. the ability to reason with information collected from multiple passages to derive the answer.
Chains-of-Reasoning at TextGraphs 2019 Shared Task: Reasoning over Chains of Facts for Explainable Multi-hop Inference
This paper describes our submission to the shared task on {``}Multi-hop Inference Explanation Regeneration{''} in TextGraphs workshop at EMNLP 2019 (Jansen and Ustalov, 2019).
ProtoQA: A Question Answering Dataset for Prototypical Common-Sense Reasoning
Given questions regarding some prototypical situation such as Name something that people usually do before they leave the house for work?
A Simple Approach to Case-Based Reasoning in Knowledge Bases
We present a surprisingly simple yet accurate approach to reasoning in knowledge graphs (KGs) that requires \emph{no training}, and is reminiscent of case-based reasoning in classical artificial intelligence (AI).
Probabilistic Case-based Reasoning for Open-World Knowledge Graph Completion
A case-based reasoning (CBR) system solves a new problem by retrieving `cases' that are similar to the given problem.

An Instance Level Approach for Shallow Semantic Parsing in Scientific Procedural Text
Fortunately, such specific domains often use rather formulaic writing, such that the different ways of expressing relations in a small number of grammatically similar labeled sentences may provide high coverage of semantic structures in the corpus, through an appropriately rich similarity metric.
Long Document Summarization in a Low Resource Setting using Pretrained Language Models
Abstractive summarization is the task of compressing a long document into a coherent short document while retaining salient information.
Case-based Reasoning for Natural Language Queries over Knowledge Bases
It is often challenging to solve a complex problem from scratch, but much easier if we can access other similar problems with their solutions -- a paradigm known as case-based reasoning (CBR).

DISAPERE: A Dataset for Discourse Structure in Peer Review Discussions
At the foundation of scientific evaluation is the labor-intensive process of peer review.
Knowledge Base Question Answering by Case-based Reasoning over Subgraphs
Question answering (QA) over knowledge bases (KBs) is challenging because of the diverse, essentially unbounded, types of reasoning patterns needed.
Calibration of Machine Reading Systems at Scale
We show that calibrating such complex systems which contain discrete retrieval and deep reading components is challenging and current calibration techniques fail to scale to these settings.
CBR-iKB: A Case-Based Reasoning Approach for Question Answering over Incomplete Knowledge Bases
Yet, in many question answering applications coupled with knowledge bases, the sparse nature of KBs is often overlooked.
When Not to Trust Language Models: Investigating Effectiveness of Parametric and Non-Parametric Memories
Despite their impressive performance on diverse tasks, large language models (LMs) still struggle with tasks requiring rich world knowledge, implying the limitations of relying solely on their parameters to encode a wealth of world knowledge.
Machine Reading Comprehension using Case-based Reasoning
Given a test question, CBR-MRC first retrieves a set of similar cases from a nonparametric memory and then predicts an answer by selecting the span in the test context that is most similar to the contextualized representations of answers in the retrieved cases.
Bring Your Own KG: Self-Supervised Program Synthesis for Zero-Shot KGQA
We present BYOKG, a universal question-answering (QA) system that can operate on any knowledge graph (KG), requires no human-annotated training data, and can be ready to use within a day -- attributes that are out-of-scope for current KGQA systems.
