Abstract
Nowadays, question answering (QA) over complex questions is the most spotlighted research topic in diverse communities. Different from existing QA approaches for simple questions that require a single relation in a knowledge graph (KG) to find an answer set, QA for complex questions requires to process multiple KG relations. Complex questions often include some representations for constraints (ordinal, temporal, etc.) that restrict an answer set for the given question. Despite lots of efforts to process such questions, there are still limitations in processing constraints, multiple relations, and variables. To solve the issues, we propose a novel QA method that first decomposes an input question and then generates a correct query graph with fully complete semantics. In order to fill with lossy semantics caused by the decomposition task, the proposed method employs Bi-GRU based model. The model integrates individual compositional semantics of sub-query graphs matched to decomposed sub-questions. Experimental results show the best performance compared to the state-of-art on complex questions.
