Detailed Description
Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus a repetitive description thereof will be omitted.
Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the disclosure. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the disclosed aspects may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. In other instances, well-known structures, methods, devices, implementations, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the disclosure.
The block diagrams depicted in the figures are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically separate entities. That is, these functional entities may be implemented in software, or in one or more software-hardened modules, or in different networks and/or processor devices and/or microcontroller devices.
In a knowledge graph, there may be a plurality of entities having the same name as the entities in the user's question, so in a question-answering system of the knowledge graph, it is difficult to determine which specific entity the user wants to ask only through semantic understanding in the question, and at this time, additional information is required for entity disambiguation to determine the answer of the target question.
Based on this, in the present exemplary embodiment, a data processing-based problem response method is provided first, where the data processing-based problem response method of the present disclosure may be implemented by using a server, and the method of the present disclosure may also be implemented by using a terminal device, where the terminal device may be, for example, a mobile phone, a computer, a PDA, or other various electronic devices. Referring to fig. 1, the data processing-based problem response method may include the steps of:
s110, determining a first entity of the target problem and a matching condition corresponding to the first entity in the target problem.
In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the target question may be a question input by a user, the first entity of the target question may be an entity included in the target question, and the matching condition corresponding to the first entity in the target question may be a correspondence of the first entity with other entities or some attribute of the first entity. For example, the target question may be "what is the indication of liprituximab? The first entity of the target problem is "liprital", and the matching condition corresponding to the first entity may be "indication".
S120, screening a second entity matched with the first entity from the knowledge graph.
In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the knowledge graph records the entities and the relationships between the entities contained therein in the form of triples, where the knowledge graph may record the relationship between two entities in a manner of (entity 1, relationship, entity 2), or may record a certain attribute of the entity in a manner of (entity, attribute value). The second entity that matches the first entity may be the same entity as the first entity name, and these entities may have different meanings. For example, what may be a target question as "Li Na occupation? "the first entity of the target problem is" Li Na ", there may be a plurality of" Li Na "in the knowledge graph, but the meaning of each" Li Na "may not be the same, for example, the entity" Li Na "may be a tennis player Li Na, a student Li Na, or a staff member Li Na.
According to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, synonyms for a first entity are obtained; and determining an entity matched with the first entity or the synonym of the first entity in the knowledge graph as a second entity. What is the target question "indication of liprituximab? The first entity is "liprital", and after the first entity is determined, the second entity in the knowledge-graph may be an entity with the same name as and similar to the first entity. For example, the first entity is "liprital", then the second entity may be "liprital", "atorvastatin calcium tablet", etc., referring to fig. 2, the second entity may be entity 210, entity 220, entity 230. And screening second entities matched with the first entity from the knowledge graph, and performing next operation based on the second entities so as to facilitate the determination of the subsequent target question answers.
S130, determining one or more elements corresponding to the second entity in the knowledge graph.
In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the one or more elements corresponding to the second entity may be all elements having a connection relationship with the second entity in the knowledge-graph, and the elements may be other entities having a certain relationship with the second entity or some attribute values belonging to the second entity. Referring to fig. 2, after determining that the second entity is entity 210, entity 220, entity 230, one or more elements corresponding to the second entity may be elements 240-290.
S140, screening out target elements meeting the matching condition with the second entity from one or more elements corresponding to the second entity.
In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the matching condition, that is, the condition included in the target problem, and the element satisfying the matching condition with the second entity are target elements, and the target elements may be the entity or the attribute value of a certain entity. For example, referring to fig. 2, the condition in the target question is "indication", then the target element may be element 240; if the target question is "specification of liprital? The target element may be element 250, element 260, element 270 in fig. 2.
S150, determining an answer to the target question based on the target element.
In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the answer to the target question is the final result. Since there may be one or more target elements determined, it is necessary to determine an answer to the target question according to the specific number of target elements.
According to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of target elements may be determined first, and if the number of target elements is one, the target elements are answers to the target questions. Referring to fig. 2, for example, if the target problem is "what is the indication of liprituximab? If the determined target element is element 240, the number of target elements is one, and the target element is determined as the answer to the target question, that is, the answer to the target question is "hypercholesterolemia, coronary heart disease".
If the number of the target elements is a plurality of, grouping the target elements according to the corresponding relation between the target elements and the second entity, and determining the answer of the target question based on the number of the elements in each target element group. For example, the user input target question is "what are women's shoes with a price of 300-400 yuan? Referring to fig. 3, the first entity is a woman's shoe, the second entity in the knowledge graph may represent various different woman's shoes, the number of the target elements is plural, and the target elements may be classified based on the correspondence between the target elements and the second entity. For example, each "women's shoes" entity may contain various different attributes such as price, style, type, fit-through season, etc., so that each second entity may be grouped according to its attributes and an answer to the target question may be determined based on the number of target elements of each group after grouping.
According to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the elements in the group having the largest number of the determined target elements are used as the answers to the target questions. Referring to fig. 3, there are a plurality of second entities in the knowledge graph, namely "women's shoes" entities, and these entities may be classified based on brands of these "women's shoes" entities, and after the "women's shoes" entities are classified into the 1 st group, the 2 nd group, the 3 rd group, the … th group, and the nth group according to brands, the number of elements in each group is counted, if the number of elements contained in the 2 nd group is the largest, the 2 nd group is taken as an answer to the target question, and displayed to the user.
It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" or "1 st", "2 nd", etc. are used in this disclosure merely to distinguish different entities or different groupings of elements in the knowledge-graph, and should not impose any limitation on this disclosure.
In addition, the selection operation of the user on the first elements, the number of which exceeds the first preset number, in the element groups can be received, and the first elements selected by the user are used as answers to the target questions. The first preset number may be a specific value preset and configured as a basis for screening the target element. Screening out elements with the number of elements exceeding a first preset number in each element group to be used as first elements for display to a user, for example, the first preset number can be set to be 100, and after target elements with the price of 300-400 yuan in brands 1-n are determined, elements with the number of target elements exceeding 100 in the n groups are screened out to be used as first elements for display to the user; if the user selects "shoe 121" from the displayed women's shoes, the "shoe 121" is the answer to the target question.
According to yet another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, elements in groups of elements exceeding a second preset number in number are determined as candidate elements. The second preset number may be a specific value that is preset, and may also be used as a basis for screening the target element, where for the entity in the same problem, the specific value of the second preset number is different from the specific value of the first preset number. If the second preset number is 50, screening out elements with the preset number exceeding 50 in the knowledge graph, and taking the elements as candidate elements.
Obtaining candidate matching conditions of each candidate element and the second entity; determining a first matching condition among the candidate matching conditions; and receiving a selection operation of the first candidate element by the user, and determining an answer to the question based on the first candidate element selected by the user. The candidate matching condition of each candidate element and the second entity may be a relationship between the candidate element and the second entity or a certain attribute of the second entity, referring to fig. 3, the matching condition may be an attribute of the entity, and may include, but is not limited to, "price", "style", "type", "season", and the like; the first matching condition causes the first candidate elements of the second entity with which the candidate elements are associated to be not identical, i.e. the style of women's shoes may include, but is not limited to, "sports," leisure, "" sweet, "etc., and when the style" is used as the first matching condition, the first candidate elements are not identical because the type of each "women's shoes" entity is not identical. After the first candidate element is determined, some selectable options can be provided for the user and displayed for the user, and if the user selects the women's shoes with the high-upper attribute based on the displayed first candidate element, the women's shoes with the price of 300-400 yuan and the high-upper attribute are used as the options for determining the answer of the target question.
In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, if there is only one of the first candidate elements selected by the user, the first candidate element selected by the user is determined as an answer to the question. For example, if the user selects the attribute of "high" and there is only one corresponding "women's shoes" entity under the attribute, the entity selected by the user is taken as the answer to the target question.
In another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if there are a plurality of first candidate elements selected by the user, determining a second matching condition among the candidate matching conditions; and receiving a selection operation of the second candidate element by the user, and determining an answer to the question based on the second candidate element selected by the user. The second matching condition may be an attribute of the entity or a relationship between the entity and another entity, the second matching condition should be different from the first matching condition. For example, if the user selects the attribute of "high" and there are a plurality of corresponding "women's shoes" under the attribute, the second matching condition may be continuously determined as a basis for screening the elements, for example, "season" may be selected as the second matching condition, where the second candidate elements of the second entity associated with each first candidate element are not identical. Since the prices of the respective "women's shoes" entities are not exactly the same, a "season" may be selected as the second matching condition, and the second candidate element may be determined therefrom.
And if the number of the determined second candidate elements is one, the candidate elements are taken as answers to the target questions, and if the number of the second candidate elements is a plurality of the second candidate elements, the selection operation of the user on the second candidate elements is received, and the second candidate elements selected by the user are taken as answers to the target questions. After the second candidate element is determined by taking the season as the second matching condition, if only one second candidate element exists, the element is taken as an answer to the target question. If there are a plurality of second candidate elements, the plurality of candidate elements can be displayed to the user for the user to select, and the element selected by the user is used as the answer of the target question.
In summary, in the problem response method based on data processing, first, a first entity of a target problem and a matching condition corresponding to the first entity in the target problem are determined; secondly, screening a second entity matched with the first entity from the knowledge graph, and determining one or more elements corresponding to the second entity in the knowledge graph; and thirdly, screening out target elements meeting the matching condition with the second entity from one or more elements corresponding to the second entity, and determining an answer to the target question based on the target elements. On the one hand, through the problem response method based on data processing, the entity matched with the entity in the target problem in the knowledge graph can be screened out, and the answer of the target problem can be determined by combining the selection of the user or other interactive operation modes; on the other hand, through the data processing-based question response method, all entities meeting the matching condition can be used as candidates of target question answers so as to ensure the comprehensiveness of the answers.
