Query: Web Question Answering with Neurosymbolic Program Synthesis   In this paper, we propose a new technique based on program synthesis for
extracting information from webpages. Given a natural language query and a few
labeled webpages, our method synthesizes a program that can be used to extract
similar types of information from other unlabeled webpages. To handle websites
with diverse structure, our approach employs a neurosymbolic DSL that
incorporates both neural NLP models as well as standard language constructs for
tree navigation and string manipulation. We also propose an optimal synthesis
algorithm that generates all DSL programs that achieve optimal F1 score on the
training examples. Our synthesis technique is compositional, prunes the search
space by exploiting a monotonicity property of the DSL, and uses transductive
learning to select programs with good generalization power. We have implemented
these ideas in a new tool called WebQA and evaluate it on 25 different tasks
across multiple domains. Our experiments show that WebQA significantly
outperforms existing tools such as state-of-the-art question answering models
and wrapper induction systems.
