Abstract

Recent progress in Learning by Reading and Machine Reading systems has significantly increased the capacity of knowledge-based systems to learn new facts. In this work, we discuss the problem of selecting a set of learning requests for these knowledge-based systems which would lead to maximum Q/A performance. To understand the dynamics of this problem, we simulate the properties of a learning strategy, which sends learning requests to an external knowledge source. We show that choosing an optimal set of facts for these learning systems is similar to a coordination game, and use reinforcement learning to solve this problem. Experiments show that such an approach can significantly improve Q/A performance.
