• Abstract summary: We focus on incorporating external knowledge into the verbalizer, forming a knowledgeable prompt-tuning (KPT) We expand the label word space of the verbalizer using external knowledge bases (KBs) and refine the expanded label word space with the PLM itself before predicting with the expanded label word space. Experiments on zero and few-shot text classification tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of knowledgeable prompt-tuning.

• Abstract: Tuning pre-trained language models (PLMs) with task-specific prompts has been a promising approach for text classification. Particularly, previous studies suggest that prompt-tuning has remarkable superiority in the low-data scenario over the generic fine-tuning methods with extra classifiers. The core idea of prompt-tuning is to insert text pieces, i.e., template, to the input and transform a classification problem into a masked language modeling problem, where a crucial step is to construct a projection, i.e., verbalizer, between a label space and a label word space. A verbalizer is usually handcrafted or searched by gradient descent, which may lack coverage and bring considerable bias and high variances to the results. In this work, we focus on incorporating external knowledge into the verbalizer, forming a knowledgeable prompt-tuning (KPT), to improve and stabilize prompt-tuning. Specifically, we expand the label word space of the verbalizer using external knowledge bases (KBs) and refine the expanded label word space with the PLM itself before predicting with the expanded label word space. Extensive experiments on zero and few-shot text classification tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of knowledgeable prompt-tuning.

  In this paper, we focus on eliciting knowledge from pretrained language models and propose a prototypical prompt verbalizer for prompt-tuning. For zero-shot settings, knowledge is elicited from pretrained language models by a manually designed template to form initial prototypical embeddings.
