Open Predicate Query Language (OPQL): constructing a virtual knowledge base (VKB) that supports KB reasoning & open-domain QA, tackling the incompleteness of knowledge bases by constructing a virtual KB only from text

> OPQL constructs
a VKB by **encoding and indexing a set of
relation mentions** in a way that naturally enables
reasoning and can be trained without any structured
supervision.

> can be used
as an **external memory integrated into a language
model**

cf. this earlier paper [[2002.10640] Differentiable Reasoning over a Virtual Knowledge Base](doc:2020/07/2002_10640_differentiable_rea). But does not require an initial structured KB for distant
supervision.

> The key idea in constructing the OPQL VKB is to use a
dual-encoder pre-training process, similar to

sl:arxiv_summary : We present the Open Predicate Query Language (OPQL); a method for constructing a virtual KB (VKB) trained entirely from text. Large Knowledge Bases (KBs) are indispensable for a wide-range of industry applications such as question answering and recommendation. Typically, KBs encode world knowledge in a structured, readily accessible form derived from laborious human annotation efforts. Unfortunately, while they are extremely high precision, KBs are inevitably highly incomplete and automated methods for enriching them are far too inaccurate. Instead, OPQL constructs a VKB by encoding and indexing a set of relation mentions in a way that naturally enables reasoning and can be trained without any structured supervision. We demonstrate that OPQL outperforms prior VKB methods on two different KB reasoning tasks and, additionally, can be used as an external memory integrated into a language model (OPQL-LM) leading to improvements on two open-domain question answering tasks.@en

[2206.10658] Questions Are All You Need to Train a Dense Passage Retriever

> **approach for training dense retrieval models that does not require any labeled training data**. Dense retrieval is a central challenge for open-domain tasks, such as Open QA, where state-of-the-art methods typically require large supervised datasets with custom hard-negative mining and denoising of positive examples.

> ART, in contrast, only requires access to unpaired inputs and outputs (e.g. questions and potential answer documents).
>
> It uses a new document-retrieval autoencoding scheme, where
> 1. an input question is used to retrieve a set of evidence documents, and
> 2. the documents are then used to compute the probability of reconstructing the original question.
>
> Training for retrieval based on question reconstruction enables effective unsupervised learning of both document and question encoders, which can be later incorporated into complete Open QA systems without any further finetuning.

as a way of denoising that provides soft-labels for
how likely each document is to have been the correct
result
