• Abstract: Commonsense knowledge is essential for advancing natural language processing (NLP) by enabling models to engage in human-like reasoning, which requires a deeper understanding of context and often involves making inferences based on implicit external knowledge. This paper explores the integration of commonsense knowledge into various NLP tasks. We begin by reviewing prominent commonsense knowledge bases and then discuss the benchmarks used to evaluate the commonsense reasoning capabilities of NLP models, particularly language models. Furthermore, we highlight key methodologies for incorporating commonsense knowledge and their applications across different NLP tasks. The paper also examines the challenges and emerging trends in enhancing NLP systems with commonsense reasoning.

• Commonsense Knowledge Transfer for Pre-trained Language Models [83.01121484432801]
  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.

• Generated Knowledge Prompting for Commonsense Reasoning [53.88983683513114]
  We propose generating knowledge statements directly from a language model with a generic prompt format. This approach improves performance of both off-the-shelf and finetuned language models on four commonsense reasoning tasks. Notably, we find that a model's predictions can improve when using its own generated knowledge.

  We propose an unsupervised framework based on self-talk as a novel alternative to commonsense tasks. Inspired by inquiry-based discovery learning, our approach inquires language models with a number of information seeking questions. Empirical results demonstrate that the self-talk procedure substantially improves the performance of zero-shot language model baselines.
