• Abstract summary: We investigate models for complementing the distributional knowledge of BERT with conceptual knowledge from ConceptNet and its corresponding Open Mind Common Sense (OMCS) corpus. Our adapter-based models substantially outperform BERT on inference tasks that require the type of conceptual knowledge explicitly present in ConceptNet and OMCS.

• Abstract: Following the major success of neural language models (LMs) such as BERT or GPT-2 on a variety of language understanding tasks, recent work focused on injecting (structured) knowledge from external resources into these models. While on the one hand, joint pretraining (i.e., training from scratch, adding objectives based on external knowledge to the primary LM objective) may be prohibitively computationally expensive, post-hoc fine-tuning on external knowledge, on the other hand, may lead to the catastrophic forgetting of distributional knowledge. In this work, we investigate models for complementing the distributional knowledge of BERT with conceptual knowledge from ConceptNet and its corresponding Open Mind Common Sense (OMCS) corpus, respectively, using adapter training. While overall results on the GLUE benchmark paint an inconclusive picture, a deeper analysis reveals that our adapter-based models substantially outperform BERT (up to 15-20 performance points) on inference tasks that require the type of conceptual knowledge explicitly present in ConceptNet and OMCS.

  We introduce commonsense knowledge transfer, a framework to transfer the commonsense knowledge stored in a neural commonsense knowledge model to a general-purpose pre-trained language model. It first exploits general texts to form queries for extracting commonsense knowledge from the neural commonsense knowledge model. It then refines the language model with two self-supervised objectives: commonsense mask infilling and commonsense relation prediction.

  We propose a novel model - Knowledge Augmented Transformer (KAT) - which achieves a strong state-of-the-art result on the open-domain multimodal task of OK-VQA. Our approach integrates implicit and explicit knowledge in an end to end encoder-decoder architecture, while still jointly reasoning over both knowledge sources during answer generation. An additional benefit of explicit knowledge integration is seen in improved interpretability of model predictions in our analysis.

  We focus on improving model pretraining by leveraging explicit knowledge. To be specific, we first match knowledge facts from knowledge graph (KG) and then add a knowledge injunction layer to transformer directly. The experimental results show that solely by adding external knowledge to transformer can improve the learning performance on many NLP tasks.
