• Abstract: Entity resolution has been an essential and well-studied task in data cleaning research for decades. Existing work has discussed the feasibility of utilizing pre-trained language models to perform entity resolution and achieved promising results. However, few works have discussed injecting domain knowledge to improve the performance of pre-trained language models on entity resolution tasks. In this study, we propose Knowledge Augmented Entity Resolution (KAER), a novel framework named for augmenting pre-trained language models with external knowledge for entity resolution. We discuss the results of utilizing different knowledge augmentation and prompting methods to improve entity resolution performance. Our model improves on Ditto, the existing state-of-the-art entity resolution method. In particular, 1) KAER performs more robustly and achieves better results on "dirty data", and 2) with more general knowledge injection, KAER outperforms the existing baseline models on the textual dataset and dataset from the online product domain. 3) KAER achieves competitive results on highly domain-specific datasets, such as citation datasets, requiring the injection of expert knowledge in future work.

  We argue that storing large amounts of knowledge in the model parameters is sub-optimal given the ever-growing amounts of knowledge and resource requirements. We present LM-CORE -- a general framework to achieve this -- that allows textitdecoupling of the language model training from the external knowledge source. Experimental results show that LM-CORE, having access to external knowledge, achieves significant and robust outperformance over state-of-the-art knowledge-enhanced language models on knowledge probing tasks.

  We study the dynamic relationship between the encoded linguistic information and task performance from the viewpoint of Pareto Optimality. We conduct experiments on two popular NLP tasks, i.e., machine translation and language modeling, and investigate the relationship between several kinds of linguistic information and task performances. Our empirical findings suggest that some syntactic information is helpful for NLP tasks whereas encoding more syntactic information does not necessarily lead to better performance.
