Iterative Repair with Weak Verifiers for Few-shot Transfer in KBQA with Unanswerability

ACL 2025finding

Real-world applications of KBQA require models to detect different types of unanswerable questions with a limited volume of in-domain labeled training data. We propose the novel task of few-shot transfer for KBQA with unanswerable questions. The state-of-the-art KBQA few-shot transfer model (FuSIC-K…

Few-shot Transfer Learning for Knowledge Base Question Answering: Fusing Supervised Models with In-Context Learning

ACL 2024long

Existing Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) architectures are hungry for annotated data, which make them costly and time-consuming to deploy. We introduce the problem of few-shot transfer learning for KBQA, where the target domain offers only a few labeled examples, but a large labeled trainin…

RetinaQA: A Robust Knowledge Base Question Answering Model for both Answerable and Unanswerable Questions

ACL 2024long

An essential requirement for a real-world Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) system is the ability to detect the answerability of questions when generating logical forms. However, state-of-the-art KBQA models assume all questions to be answerable. Recent research has found that such models, wh…

Do I have the Knowledge to Answer? Investigating Answerability of Knowledge Base Questions

ACL 2023long

When answering natural language questions over knowledge bases, missing facts, incomplete schema and limited scope naturally lead to many questions being unanswerable. While answerability has been explored in other QA settings, it has not been studied for QA over knowledge bases (KBQA). We create Gr…

A Weak Supervision Approach for Predicting Difficulty of Technical Interview Questions

COLING 2022main

Predicting difficulty of questions is crucial for technical interviews. However, such questions are long-form and more open-ended than factoid and multiple choice questions explored so far for question difficulty prediction. Existing models also require large volumes of candidate response data for t…

Generating An Optimal Interview Question Plan Using A Knowledge Graph And Integer Linear Programming

NAACL 2021long

Given the diversity of the candidates and complexity of job requirements, and since interviewing is an inherently subjective process, it is an important task to ensure consistent, uniform, efficient and objective interviews that result in high quality recruitment. We propose an interview assistant s…

Enabling Human-Like Task Identification From Natural Conversation

IROS 2019poster

A robot as a coworker or a cohabitant is becoming mainstream day-by-day with the development of low-cost sophisticated hardware. However, an accompanying software stack that can aid the usability of the robotic hardware remains the bottleneck of the process, especially if the robot is not dedicated…
