• Abstract: Transformer-based language models have achieved impressive success in various natural language processing tasks due to their ability to capture complex dependencies and contextual information using self-attention mechanisms. However, they are not without limitations. These limitations include hallucinations, where they produce incorrect outputs with high confidence, and alignment issues, where they generate unhelpful and unsafe outputs for human users. These limitations stem from the absence of implicit and missing context in the data alone. To address this, researchers have explored augmenting these models with external knowledge from knowledge graphs to provide the necessary additional context. However, the ad-hoc nature of existing methods makes it difficult to properly analyze the effects of knowledge infusion on the many moving parts or components of a transformer. This paper introduces a systematic method for infusing knowledge into different components of a transformer-based model. A modular framework is proposed to identify specific components within the transformer architecture, such as the self-attention mechanism, encoder layers, or the input embedding layer, where knowledge infusion can be applied. Additionally, extensive experiments are conducted on the General Language Understanding Evaluation (GLUE) benchmark tasks, and the findings are reported. This systematic approach aims to facilitate more principled approaches to incorporating knowledge into language model architectures.

  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.

An additional benefit of explicit knowledge integration is seen in improved interpretability of model predictions in our analysis.
