• Authors: Tuan-Phong Nguyen, Simon Razniewski, Gerhard Weikum
• Abstract summary: Commonsense knowledge (CSK) about concepts and their properties is useful for AI applications such as robust chatbots. This paper presents a methodology, called Ascent, to automatically build a large-scale knowledge base (KB) of CSK assertions. Ascent goes beyond triples by capturing composite concepts with subgroups and aspects, and by refining assertions with semantic facets.

• Abstract: Commonsense knowledge (CSK) about concepts and their properties is useful for AI applications such as robust chatbots. Prior works like ConceptNet, TupleKB and others compiled large CSK collections, but are restricted in their expressiveness to subject-predicate-object (SPO) triples with simple concepts for S and monolithic strings for P and O. Also, these projects have either prioritized precision or recall, but hardly reconcile these complementary goals. This paper presents a methodology, called Ascent, to automatically build a large-scale knowledge base (KB) of CSK assertions, with advanced expressiveness and both better precision and recall than prior works. Ascent goes beyond triples by capturing composite concepts with subgroups and aspects, and by refining assertions with semantic facets. The latter are important to express temporal and spatial validity of assertions and further qualifiers. Ascent combines open information extraction with judicious cleaning using language models. Intrinsic evaluation shows the superior size and quality of the Ascent KB, and an extrinsic evaluation for QA-support tasks underlines the benefits of Ascent.

  Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) have been proposed to address the 'black-box' problem of deep neural networks. We propose a novel CBM approach -- called Discover-then-Name-CBM (DN-CBM) -- that inverts the typical paradigm. Our concept extraction strategy is efficient, since it is agnostic to the downstream task, and uses concepts already known to the model.

  We propose Conceptualization-Augmented Reasoner (CAR) to tackle the task of zero-shot commonsense question answering. CAR abstracts a commonsense knowledge triple to many higher-level instances, which increases the coverage of CommonSense Knowledge Bases. CAR more robustly generalizes to answering questions about zero-shot commonsense scenarios than existing methods.

  Vision-language models are pre-trained by aligning image-text pairs in a common space to deal with open-set visual concepts. To boost the transferability of the pre-trained models, recent works adopt fixed or learnable prompts. However, how and what prompts can improve inference performance remains unclear.
