    Using Local Knowledge Graph Construction to Scale Seq2Seq Models to Multi-Document Inputs Angela Fan Claire Gardent Chloe´ Braud Antoine Bordes FAIR / LORIA CNRS / LORIA CNRS / LORIA FAIR angelafan,[email protected] claire.gardent,[email protected] Abstract Query-based open-domain NLP tasks require information synthesis from long and diverse web results. Current approaches extrac- tively select portions of web text as input to Sequence-to-Sequence models using meth- ods such as TF-IDF ranking. We propose constructing a local graph structured knowl- edge base for each query, which compresses the web search information and reduces re- dundancy. We show that by linearizing the graph into a structured input sequence, models can encode the graph representations within a standard Sequence-to-Sequence setting. For two generative tasks with very long text in- put, long-form question answering and multi- document summarization, feeding graph rep- resentations as input can achieve better perfor- mance than using retrieved text portions. 1 Introduction Effective information synthesis is at the core of many Natural Language Processing applica- Figure 1: Multi-Document Input to Linearized Graph tions, such as open-domain question answering Multi-document input resulting from web search queries are converted to a graph structured knowledge base using coref- and multi-document summarization.

For Berkeley, development is all about people. We take a holistic approach to placemaking, which goes beyond the conventional role of a developer and puts the strength and well-being of the wider community at the heart of every plan. We think long-term and we invest more to create welcoming, sustainable and biodiverse places. Every development has a unique, locally inspired masterplan with a mix of beautiful public spaces, natural landscapes and amenities that bring people together to enjoy community life. Our developments provide homes for everyone; from families to first-time buyers, students to older people, and a mix of affordable homes which meet the needs of the local community. Berkeley has the financial strength and placemaking expertise to take on the most difficult, long-term, capital intensive developments. Transforming these underused places into successful neighbourhoods creates greater economic, social, environmental and commercial value over the full development cycle. No other UK developer has the capacity or experience to regenerate brownfield land on this scale.
