• Abstract: Concepts benefit natural language understanding but are far from complete in existing knowledge graphs (KGs). Recently, pre-trained language models (PLMs) have been widely used in text-based concept extraction (CE). However, PLMs tend to mine the co-occurrence associations from massive corpus as pre-trained knowledge rather than the real causal effect between tokens. As a result, the pre-trained knowledge confounds PLMs to extract biased concepts based on spurious co-occurrence correlations, inevitably resulting in low precision. In this paper, through the lens of a Structural Causal Model (SCM), we propose equipping the PLM-based extractor with a knowledge-guided prompt as an intervention to alleviate concept bias. The prompt adopts the topic of the given entity from the existing knowledge in KGs to mitigate the spurious co-occurrence correlations between entities and biased concepts. Our extensive experiments on representative multilingual KG datasets justify that our proposed prompt can effectively alleviate concept bias and improve the performance of PLM-based CE models.The code has been released on https://github.com/siyuyuan/KPCE.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown unprecedented performance in various real-world applications. LLMs are known to generate factually inaccurate outputs, a.k.a. the hallucination problem. We propose a principled framework KELP with three stages to handle the above problems.

  Non-human-like behaviour of contemporary pre-trained language models (PLMs) is a leading cause undermining their trustworthiness. A striking phenomenon is the generation of inconsistent predictions, which produces contradictory results. We propose a practical approach that alleviates the inconsistent behaviour issue by improving PLM awareness.

  Conceptual knowledge is fundamental to human cognition and knowledge bases. Existing knowledge probing works only focus on factual knowledge of pre-trained language models (PLMs) and ignore conceptual knowledge. We design three tasks to probe whether PLMs organize entities by conceptual similarities, learn conceptual properties, and conceptualize entities in contexts. For the tasks, we collect and annotate 24k data instances covering 393 concepts, which is COPEN, a COnceptual knowledge Probing bENchmark.

We deploy the approach to harvest KGs of over 400 new relations from different LMs.

  Few-shot relation extraction (FSRE) is of great importance in long-tail distribution problem. Most existing FSRE algorithms fail to accurately classify the relations merely based on the information of the sentences together with the recognized entity pairs. We propose a novel entity-enhanced FEw-shot Relation Extraction scheme (ConceptFERE), which introduces the inherent concepts of entities to provide clues for relation prediction.
