Question Answering Over Knowledge Graphs: Question Understanding Via Template Decomposition
Summary: Question answering over knowledge graphs via binary-template decomposition instead of semantic parsers; automated generation of a huge template pool. Index-guided online template decomposition plus two-level disambiguation—entity- and structure-level—improves precision and recall, beating state-of-the-art on benchmarks.
