Celebrated emph{Sequence to Sequence learning (Seq2Seq)} and its fruitful variants are powerful models to achieve excellent performance on the tasks that map sequences to sequences. However, these are many machine learning tasks with inputs naturally represented in a form of graphs, which imposes significant challenges to existing Seq2Seq models for lossless conversion from its graph form to the sequence. In this work, we present a general end-to-end approach to map the input graph to a sequence of vectors, and then another attention-based LSTM to decode the target sequence from these vectors. Specifically, to address inevitable information loss for data conversion, we introduce a novel graph-to-sequence neural network model that follows the encoder-decoder architecture. Our method first uses an improved graph-based neural network to generate the node and graph embeddings by a novel aggregation strategy to incorporate the edge direction information into the node embeddings. We also propose an attention based mechanism that aligns node embeddings and decoding sequence to better cope with large graphs. Experimental results on bAbI task, Shortest Path Task, and Natural Language Generation Task demonstrate that our model achieves the state-of-the-art performance and significantly outperforms other baselines. We also show that with the proposed aggregation strategy, our proposed model is able to quickly converge to good performance. |
