Question matching is the fundamental task in retrieval-based dialogue systems which assesses the similarity between Query and Question. Unfortunately, existing methods focus on improving the accuracy of text similarity in the general domain, without adaptation to the financial domain. Financial question matching has two critical issues: (1) How to accurately model the contextual representation of a financial sentence? (2) How to accurately represent financial key phrases in an utterance? To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel Financial Knowledge Enhanced Network (FinKENet) that significantly injects financial knowledge into contextual text. Specifically, we propose a multi-level encoder to extract both sentence-level features and financial phrase-level features, which can more accurately represent sentences and financial phrases. Furthermore, we propose a financial co-attention adapter to combine sentence features and financial keyword features. Finally, we design a multi-level similarity decoder to calculate the similarity between queries and questions. In addition, a cross-entropy-based loss function is presented for model optimization. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method on the Ant Financial question matching dataset. In particular, the Recall score improves from 73.21% to 74.90% (1.69% absolute).
