• Abstract: Finding counterevidence to statements is key to many tasks, including counterargument generation. We build a system that, given a statement, retrieves counterevidence from diverse sources on the Web. At the core of this system is a natural language inference (NLI) model that determines whether a candidate sentence is valid counterevidence or not. Most NLI models to date, however, lack proper reasoning abilities necessary to find counterevidence that involves complex inference. Thus, we present a knowledge-enhanced NLI model that aims to handle causality- and example-based inference by incorporating knowledge graphs. Our NLI model outperforms baselines for NLI tasks, especially for instances that require the targeted inference. In addition, this NLI model further improves the counterevidence retrieval system, notably finding complex counterevidence better.

  Natural language explanations (NLEs) promise to enable the communication of a model's decision-making in an easily intelligible way. While current models successfully generate convincing explanations, it is an open question how well the NLEs actually represent the reasoning process of the models. We propose three faithfulness metrics: Attribution-Similarity, NLE-Sufficiency, and NLE-Comprehensiveness.

  We evaluate state-of-the-art coreference resolution models on our dataset. Several models struggle to reason on-the-fly over knowledge observed both at pretrain time and at inference time. Still, even the best performing models seem to have difficulties with reliably integrating knowledge presented only at inference time.
