基于多信息感知的多方对话问答方法

Question answering in multi-party conversation typically focuses on exploring discourse structures or speaker-aware information but ignores the interaction between questions and conversations. To solve this problem, a new model which integrates various information is proposed. In detail, to hierarchically model the discourse structures, speaker-aware dependency of interlocutors and question-context information, the proposed model leverages above information to propagate contextual information, by exploiting graph convolutional neural network. Besides, the model employs a reasonable interaction layer based on attention mechanism to enhance the understanding of multi-party conversations by selecting more helpful information. Furthermore, the model is the first to pay attention to the explicit interaction between question and context. The experimental results show that the model outperforms multiple baselines, illustrating that the model can understand the conversations more comprehensively.
