摘要

Question answering (QA) systems can be classified as either text-based QA systems or knowledge base QA (KBQA) systems, depending on the used knowledge source. KBQA systems are generally domain-specific and can't deal with a variety of questions in the open-domain QA setting, while text-based systems can. However, text-based systems' performance is far from satisfactory. This paper focuses on the text-based open-domain QA setting. We argue that text-based approaches' poor performance is largely caused by the lack of knowledge, which is often essential for answering the question and can be easily found in knowledge base (KB), in plain text. So in this paper, we propose a new text-based open-domain QA system called KF (Knowledge Fusion)-QA, which uses KB as a second knowledge source to incorporate essential knowledge into text to help answer the question. Our system has a Knowledge-Aware Encoder which extracts essential knowledge from KB and performs knowledge fusion to output knowledge-aware (KA) text representations. With this KA representations, the system first re-rank the retrieved documents, then read the re-ranked top-N documents to give the answer. Our system significantly outperforms existing text-based QA systems on multiple open-domain QA datasets, demonstrating the effectiveness of fusing essential knowledge.
