Interpretable general reasoning system using key value memory networks

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• processing a complex question having at least two subject and relation pairs into keys in key memory locations,
• importing entities of a knowledge base as values into value memory locations based on the keys;
• generating a query representation, a key representation of the keys in the key memory locations, and a value representation of the values in the value memory locations;
• and
• updating the query representation into an updated query representation over one or more iterations by combining the query representation with the value representation and the key representations.

A computer program product facilitating reasoning using a key value memory network and comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• based on a question, generate a query representation, load keys into key memory locations, and import entities of a knowledge base as values into value memory locations based on the keys;
• generate a key representation of the keys in the key memory locations, and a value representation of the values in the value memory locations;
• update the current query representation into an updated query representation by combining the query representation with the value representation and the key representations to provide the updated query representation as the current query representation over one or more iterations until a stop key is detected;
• and
• return an answer to the question.
