# Neural Relation Prediction for Simple Question Answering over Knowledge Graph Source: [Neural Relation Prediction for Simple Question Answering over Knowledge Graph]() Collection index: [llms.txt]() Data updated: 2025-10-25T22:24:01.852Z Authors: Amin Abolghasemi, Saeedeh Momtazi Published: 2020-02-18T16:41:24.000Z ## Abstract Knowledge graphs are widely used as a typical resource to provide answers to factoid questions. In simple question answering over knowledge graphs, relation extraction aims to predict the relation of a factoid question from a set of predefined relation types. Most recent methods take advantage of neural networks to match a question with all predefined relations. In this paper, we propose an instance-based method to capture the underlying relation of question and to this aim, we detect matching paraphrases of a new question which share the same relation, and their corresponding relation is selected as our prediction. The idea of our model roots in the fact that a relation can be expressed with various forms of questions while these forms share lexically or semantically similar terms and concepts. Our experiments on the SimpleQuestions dataset show that the proposed model achieves better accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art relation extraction models. ## Recorded benchmark results A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. ## Original sources and implementation [Original paper]() [PDF]()
