Multi-hop machine reading comprehension is a challenging task in natural language processing, which requires more reasoning ability and explainability. Spectral models based on graph convolutional networks grant the inferring abilities and lead to competitive results, however, part of them still face the challenge of analyzing the reasoning in a human-understandable way. Inspired by the concept of the Grandmother Cells in cognitive neuroscience, a spatial graph attention framework named crname, imitating the procedure was proposed. This model is designed to assemble the semantic features in multi-angle representations and automatically concentrate or alleviate the information for reasoning. The name crname is a metaphor for the pattern of the model: regard the subjects of queries as the start points of clues, take the reasoning entities as bridge points, and consider the latent candidate entities as the grandmother cells, and the clues end up in candidate entities. The proposed model allows us to visualize the reasoning graph and analyze the importance of edges connecting two entities and the selectivity in the mention and candidate nodes, which can be easier to be comprehended empirically. The official evaluations in open-domain multi-hop reading dataset WikiHop and Drug-drug Interactions dataset MedHop prove the validity of our approach and show the probability of the application of the model in the molecular biology domain.

Multi-hop reading comprehension across multiple documents attracts much attention recently. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to tackle this multi-hop reading comprehension problem. Inspired by human reasoning processing, we construct a path -based reasoning graph from supporting documents. This graph can combine both the idea of the graph-based and path-based approaches, so it is better for multi-hop reasoning. Meanwhile, we propose Gated-RGCN to accumulate evidence on the path-based reasoning graph, which contains a new question-aware gating mechanism to regulate the usefulness of information propagating across documents and add question information during reasoning. We evaluate our approach on WikiHop dataset, and our approach achieves state-of-the-art accuracy against previously published approaches. Especially, our ensemble model surpasses human performance by 4.2%.
In this paper, we introduce Adversarial-and-attention Network (A3Net) for Machine Reading Comprehension. This model extends existing approaches from two perspectives. First, adversarial training is applied to several target variables within the model , rather than only to the inputs or embeddings. We control the norm of adversarial perturbations according to the norm of original target variables, so that we can jointly add perturbations to several target variables during training. As an effective regularization method, adversarial training improves robustness and generalization of our model. Second, we propose a multi-layer attention network utilizing three kinds of high-efficiency attention mechanisms. Multi-layer attention conducts interaction between question and passage within each layer, which contributes to reasonable representation and understanding of the model. Combining these two contributions, we enhance the diversity of dataset and the information extracting ability of the model at the same time. Meanwhile, we construct A3Net for the WebQA dataset. Results show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art models (improving Fuzzy Score from 73.50% to 77.0%).
Achieving human-level performance on some of Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) datasets is no longer challenging with the help of powerful Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs). However, the internal mechanism of these artifacts still remains unclear, placing an obstacle for further understanding these models. This paper focuses on conducting a series of analytical experiments to examine the relations between the multi-head self-attention and the final performance, trying to analyze the potential explainability in PLM-based MRC models. We perform quantitative analyses on SQuAD (English) and CMRC 2018 (Chinese), two span-extraction MRC datasets, on top of BERT, ALBERT, and ELECTRA in various aspects. We discover that {em passage-to-question} and {em passage understanding} attentions are the most important ones, showing strong correlations to the final performance than other parts. Through visualizations and case studies, we also observe several general findings on the attention maps, which could be helpful to understand how these models solve the questions.
Most Reading Comprehension methods limit themselves to queries which can be answered using a single sentence, paragraph, or document. Enabling models to combine disjoint pieces of textual evidence would extend the scope of machine comprehension metho ds, but currently there exist no resources to train and test this capability. We propose a novel task to encourage the development of models for text understanding across multiple documents and to investigate the limits of existing methods. In our task, a model learns to seek and combine evidence - effectively performing multi-hop (alias multi-step) inference. We devise a methodology to produce datasets for this task, given a collection of query-answer pairs and thematically linked documents. Two datasets from different domains are induced, and we identify potential pitfalls and devise circumvention strategies. We evaluate two previously proposed competitive models and find that one can integrate information across documents. However, both models struggle to select relevant information, as providing documents guaranteed to be relevant greatly improves their performance. While the models outperform several strong baselines, their best accuracy reaches 42.9% compared to human performance at 74.0% - leaving ample room for improvement.
Multi-choice Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) as a challenge requires model to select the most appropriate answer from a set of candidates given passage and question. Most of the existing researches focus on the modeling of the task datasets witho ut explicitly referring to external fine-grained knowledge sources, which is supposed to greatly make up the deficiency of the given passage. Thus we propose a novel reference-based knowledge enhancement model called Reference Knowledgeable Network (RekNet), which refines critical information from the passage and quote explicit knowledge in necessity. In detail, RekNet refines fine-grained critical information and defines it as Reference Span, then quotes explicit knowledge quadruples by the co-occurrence information of Reference Span and candidates. The proposed RekNet is evaluated on three multi-choice MRC benchmarks: RACE, DREAM and Cosmos QA, which shows consistent and remarkable performance improvement with observable statistical significance level over strong baselines.
