Abstract

In natural language-oriented systems, generating clarification questions to ask users when their input is ambiguous can help the system better understand the user's requirements. Although Prompt-based approaches can better exploit the latent knowledge of pre-trained language models, they often require hand-designed templates, constraining their diversity in generating clarification questions. To address this limitation, this paper proposed the two-stage clarification question generation(TSCQG) method. Firstly, in the dynamic Prompt template generation stage, the TSCQG method used the ambiguous context and the pre-trained language models to generate Prompt templates. Then, in the missing information generation stage, it combined the Prompt templates and relevant external knowledge and capitalized on the generative potential of the pre-trained model to generate relevant missing information. Experimental results demonstrate that the BLEU value and ROUGE-L value of the multi-round dialogue situation on the CLAQUA dataset reach 58.31 and 84.33, and the BLEU value and ROUGE-L value on the ClariQ-FKw dataset reach 31.18 and 58.86, respectively. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the TSCQG method in clarification question generation tasks.
