Hello, The following module /EmbedKGQA/blob/master/KGQA/RoBERTa/main.py

Line_no: 404

it replaces the entity name with 'NE' (named entity) in the question. It helps slightly in performance, since entity information is not needed in question embedding. However it is not strictly necessary, you can just remove the '[]' brackets and proceed as well.
