How to Generate Questions from Knowledge Graphs Using T5 Model

Mar 24, 2023 | Educational

In the realm of artificial intelligence and natural language processing, the ability to generate meaningful questions from structured data, like knowledge graphs, is revolutionary. This blog post will walk you through the process of utilizing the T5-base model fine-tuned for question generation to transform your knowledge graphs into comprehensible questions.

Understanding Knowledge Graphs

Think of a knowledge graph as a vibrant city map. Each node on this map represents a specific location or entity (like a landmark), while the connections between those nodes represent relationships (like roads connecting the landmarks). In question generation, we focus on a specific format: listed triples, where you can spot the head (H), relation (R), and tail (T) effortlessly. Here’s how it looks:

A answer node(s) H head R relation T tail H head R relation T tail ... etc ...

Step-by-Step Guide

Now, let’s dive into how you can use the T5 model for generating questions.

Step 1: Loading the Model

First, you need to load the necessary libraries and the T5 model. Here’s how you can do it:

from transformers import T5ForConditionalGeneration, T5TokenizerFast

model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("stanlochtent5-KGQgen")
tokenizer = T5TokenizerFast.from_pretrained("t5-base", extra_ids=0, additional_special_tokens=["A", "H", "R", "T"])

Step 2: Preparing Your Graphs

Prepare your knowledge graphs in the required format: a list of strings. For example:

graphs = ["A John H is R a teacher T at school",
           "A Mary H loves R books T in library"]

Step 3: Tokenizing the Input

Next, tokenize your input graphs:

print("Tokenizing...")
inputs = tokenizer(graphs, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True)

Step 4: Generating Questions

Once your graphs are tokenized, you can proceed to generate questions:

print("Predicting...")
y_hats = model.generate(inputs.input_ids)

Step 5: Decoding the Output

Finally, decode the generated outputs to retrieve your questions:

print("Decoding...")
preds = tokenizer.batch_decode(y_hats, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=True)

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while executing the above code, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

  • Ensure you have installed the Transformers library.
  • Check for any typos in the model or tokenizer names.
  • If you see errors related to input shape, make sure your graph strings are formatted correctly.
