abstract

Training large-scale question answering systems is complicated because training sources usually cover a small portion of the range of possible questions. This paper studies the impact of multitask and transfer learning for simple question answering; a setting for which the reasoning required to answer is quite easy, as long as one can retrieve the correct evidence given a question, which can be difficult in large-scale conditions. To this end, we introduce a new dataset of 100k questions that we use in conjunction with existing benchmarks. We conduct our study within the framework of Memory Networks (Weston et al., 2015) because this perspective allows us to eventually scale up to more complex reasoning, and show that Memory Networks can be successfully trained to achieve excellent performance.

The authors release the Wikidata Query Logs dataset containing 335k real question-query pairs constructed via an agent-based de-anonymization process from query service logs.

KoRe: Compact Knowledge Representations for Large Language Models

cs.CL · 2026-05-19 · conditional · novelty 6.0

KoRe compresses one-hop knowledge-graph subgraphs into 20 discrete tokens that, injected into Qwen3-8B, match or beat text-based knowledge injection on three QA benchmarks while using up to 10x fewer tokens.
