语义解析

广义的语义解析任务指将自然语言文本处理为结构化的语义表示(Meaning Representation)。在不同的语义解析任务中,语义表示的结点定义和具体结构则由任务特性所决定,如 AMR 图、语义依存图、SQL 语法树。根据任务定义和实际应用,语义解析任务可以分为两大类:通用语义解析(General-Purpose)和任务特定语义解析(Task-Specific)。通用语义解析主要为具体的NLP下游任务提供语义学特征,如利用语义依存信息增强词单元之间的关系表示。任务特定语义解析主要服务于具体的下游应用,如利用 Text-to-SQL 技术辅助人员进行数据库交互。

在广义语义解析场景中,我们发表10余篇研究型论文在 CCF A/B 类会议上, 并积极参与和组织相关技术评测:

(1)多次参加CoNLL国际相关评测并取得优秀成绩,涵盖多语言、多框架等不同场景;

(2)构建中文语义依存解析数据集(Chinese Semantic Denpendency Graph)及组织相关评测(CCL2020)。

目前,相应的通用语义解析技术已转化到 LTP 技术平台及多个落地应用项目中。

在任务特定语义解析场景中,我们主要探索了 Text-to-SQL 任务,其主要目的是辅助用户对关系型数据库进行访问。模型的输入为表格和问题,输出为可执行的 SQL 语句。

我们目前的研究工作在以下问题上进行了探究:

(1)如何对语义解析系统进行领域知识的扩充,以支持垂直领域场景下的应用;

(2)如何在预训练语言模型中加入结构信息,以针对不同场景搭建统一的语义解析模型;

(3)如何利用用户提供的交互信息,以增强模型在长难句和歧义句上的表现。

我们目前的研究成果包括 1 篇 CCF-B 类顶会论文,及国家电网创新 AI 大赛语义解析赛道第1名。在最新的 EMNLP 2022 工作中,我们提出利用公式型知识表示表格场景下的领域知识,使解析模型具备开卷考试的能力。
