Granite-Function Calling Model: Introducing Function Calling Abilities via Multi-task Learning of Granular Tasks

EMNLP 2024industry

An emergent research trend explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) as the backbone of agentic systems (e.g., SWE-Bench, Agent-Bench). To fulfill LLMs’ potential as autonomous agents, they must be able to identify, call, and interact with a variety of external tools and application program i…

Best of Both Worlds: Towards Improving Temporal Knowledge Base Question Answering via Targeted Fact Extraction

EMNLP 2023short main

Temporal question answering (QA) is a special category of complex question answering task that requires reasoning over facts asserting time intervals of events. Previous works have predominately relied on Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) for temporal QA. One of the major challenges faced by…

Self-Supervised Rule Learning to Link Text Segments to Relational Elements of Structured Knowledge

EMNLP 2023long findings

We present a neuro-symbolic approach to self-learn rules that serve as interpretable knowledge to perform relation linking in knowledge base question answering systems. These rules define natural language text predicates as a weighted mixture of knowledge base paths. The weights learned during train…

SYGMA: A System for Generalizable and Modular Question Answering Over Knowledge Bases

EMNLP 2022finding

Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) involving complex reasoning is emerging as an important research direction. However, most KBQA systems struggle with generalizability, particularly on two dimensions: (a) across multiple knowledge bases, where existing KBQA approaches are typically tuned to a…

LNN-EL: A Neuro-Symbolic Approach to Short-text Entity Linking

ACL 2021long

Entity linking (EL) is the task of disambiguating mentions appearing in text by linking them to entities in a knowledge graph, a crucial task for text understanding, question answering or conversational systems. In the special case of short-text EL, which poses additional challenges due to limited c…
