Learning Relation Similarity
• We need a measure to find the similarity
between two different paths.
• Adopt a statistical method to learn similarity from
past QA pairs.
• Training data preparation
– Around 1,000 factoid question-answer pairs from the
past two years’ TREC QA task.
– Extract all relation paths between all non-trivial words
• 2,557 path pairs.
– Align the paths according to identical anchor nodes.
