首个面向个性化营养健康推理的图问答基准,助力精准饮食建议。

NGQA: A Nutritional Graph Question Answering Benchmark for Personalized Health-aware Nutritional Reasoning

  • 基于NHANES和FNDDS数据构建图结构,支持个体化健康条件下的营养判断。
  • 涵盖三种问题复杂度,验证模型在真实健康场景中的推理能力。
  • 适合研究个性化医疗、营养智能与图神经网络的应用者。

饮食对人类健康至关重要,但针对个体健康状况定制膳食推理仍是重大挑战。营养问答(QA)已成为解决此问题的热门方法。然而,现有研究存在两大局限:一方面,缺乏包含用户特定医疗信息的数据集,严重限制了个性化;另一方面,尽管大语言模型(LLMs)具备强大推理能力,但在个性化健康膳食推理的领域特定复杂性上表现不佳,且现有基准无法捕捉这些挑战。为此,我们提出营养图问答(NGQA)基准,首个专为个性化营养健康推理设计的图问答数据集。NGQA融合美国国家健康与营养调查(NHANES)和膳食研究食物营养数据库(FNDDS)数据,评估某食物是否适合特定用户,并提供关键贡献营养素的解释。该基准包含三种问题复杂度设置,评估三个下游任务。对LLM骨干模型和基线模型的广泛实验表明,NGQA能有效挑战现有模型。综上,NGQA解决了关键现实问题,同时通过新颖的领域特定基准推动图问答研究发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Diet plays a critical role in human health, yet tailoring dietary reasoning to individual health conditions remains a major challenge. Nutrition Question Answering (QA) has emerged as a popular method for addressing this problem. However, current research faces two critical limitations. On one hand, the absence of datasets involving user-specific medical information severely limits \textit{personalization}. This challenge is further compounded by the wide variability in individual health needs. On the other hand, while large language models (LLMs), a popular solution for this task, demonstrate strong reasoning abilities, they struggle with the domain-specific complexities of personalized healthy dietary reasoning, and existing benchmarks fail to capture these challenges. To address these gaps, we introduce the Nutritional Graph Question Answering (NGQA) benchmark, the first graph question answering dataset designed for personalized nutritional health reasoning. NGQA leverages data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) to evaluate whether a food is healthy for a specific user, supported by explanations of the key contributing nutrients. The benchmark incorporates three question complexity settings and evaluates reasoning across three downstream tasks. Extensive experiments with LLM backbones and baseline models demonstrate that the NGQA benchmark effectively challenges existing models. In sum, NGQA addresses a critical real-world problem while advancing GraphQA research with a novel domain-specific benchmark.
