Knowledge Graph and Deep Learning-based Text-to-GraphQL Model for Intelligent Medical Consultation Chatbot
针对现有图数据库缺乏语义解析方法的问题，提出Text2GQL任务及流水线方案，通过预训练适配器将逻辑语言与自然语言映射，实现医疗场景下用户问题到图查询语言的转换，实验证明该方法在多个数据集上具有竞争力。
Text-to-GQL (Text2GQL) is a task that converts the user's questions into GQL (Graph Query Language) when a graph database is given. That is a task of semantic parsing that transforms natural language problems into logical expressions, which will bring more efficient direct communication between humans and machines. The existing related work mainly focuses on Text-to-SQL tasks, and there is no available semantic parsing method and data set for the graph database. In order to fill the gaps in this field to serve the medical Human-Robot Interactions (HRI) better, we propose this task and a pipeline solution for the Text2GQL task. This solution uses the Adapter pre-trained by "the linking of GQL schemas and the corresponding utterances" as an external knowledge introduction plug-in. By inserting the Adapter into the language model, the mapping between logical language and natural language can be introduced faster and more directly to better realize the end-to-end human-machine language translation task. In the study, the proposed Text2GQL task model is mainly constructed based on an improved pipeline composed of a Language Model, Pre-trained Adapter plug-in, and Pointer Network. This enables the model to copy objects' tokens from utterances, generate corresponding GQL statements for graph database retrieval, and builds an adjustment mechanism to improve the final output. And the experiments have proved that our proposed method has certain competitiveness on the counterpart datasets (Spider, ATIS, GeoQuery, and 39.net) converted from the Text2SQL task, and the proposed method is also practical in medical scenarios.
