Abstract

For the task of open domain Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) in CCKS 2021, we propose an integrated method, which complementarily combines a more generalized information retrieval model and a more accurate semantic parsing model without manual involvement of templates. Our method achieves the averaged F1-score of 78.52% on the final test data, and ranks third in the KBQA task of CCKS 2021.
