Abstract

In this paper we propose the task of list verbalisation within a Knowledge Graph Question Answering system. Inspired by the Gricean Maxims of Quantity, Relation, and Manner we show a proof of concept ranking answer candidates through graph-based and language model-based measurements for on the one hand popularity and on the other hand a more pragmatically informed context. Our finding show that in our current set-up graph-based measures work best, while language model-based systems need further refinement and may benefit from approaches such as fine-tuning or prompting. We evaluate our approach with a user study and give insights into promising future directions of the task.
