• Abstract: Relational knowledge bases (KBs) are established tools for world knowledge representation in machines. While they are advantageous for their precision and interpretability, they usually sacrifice some data modeling flexibility for these advantages because they adhere to a manually engineered schema. In this review, we take a natural language processing perspective to the limitations of KBs, examining how they may be addressed in part by training neural contextual language models (LMs) to internalize and express relational knowledge in free-text form. We propose a novel taxonomy for relational knowledge representation in contextual LMs based on the level of KB supervision provided, considering both works that probe LMs for implicit relational knowledge acquired during self-supervised pretraining on unstructured text alone, and works that explicitly supervise LMs at the level of KB entities and/or relations. We conclude that LMs and KBs are complementary representation tools, as KBs provide a high standard of factual precision which can in turn be flexibly and expressively modeled by LMs, and provide suggestions for future research in this direction.

  We propose a general Knowledge-Injected Curriculum Pretraining framework (KICP) to achieve comprehensive KG learning and exploitation for Knowledge-based question answering tasks. The KI module first injects knowledge into the LM by generating KG-centered pretraining corpus, and generalizes the process into three key steps. The KA module learns knowledge from the generated corpus with LM equipped with an adapter as well as keeps its original natural language understanding ability. The CR module follows human reasoning patterns to construct three corpora with increasing difficulties of reasoning, and further trains the LM from easy to hard in a curriculum manner.

KERL uses a knowledge graph and a pre-trained language model to improve the semantic understanding of entities. KERL achieves state-of-the-art results in both recommendation and response generation tasks.

  We propose a Structured Knowledge-aware Pre-training method (SKP) to bridge the gap between texts and structured KBs. In the pre-training stage, we introduce two novel structured knowledge-aware tasks, guiding the model to effectively learn the implicit relationship and better representations of complex subgraphs. In the downstream KBQA task, we further design an efficient linearization strategy and an interval attention mechanism, which assist the model to better encode complex subgraphs.

  Large language models (LLMs) have led to a series of breakthroughs in natural language processing (NLP) What further sets these models apart is the massive amounts of world knowledge they internalize during pretraining. How the model's world knowledge interacts with the factual information presented in the context remains under explored.
