• Title: Exploiting Language Models as a Source of Knowledge for Cognitive Agents
• Authors: James R. Kirk, Robert E. Wray, John E. Laird
• Abstract summary: Large language models (LLMs) provide capabilities far beyond sentence completion, including question answering, summarization, and natural-language inference. While many of these capabilities have potential application to cognitive systems, our research is exploiting language models as a source of task knowledge for cognitive agents, that is, agents realized via a cognitive architecture.

• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) provide capabilities far beyond sentence completion, including question answering, summarization, and natural-language inference. While many of these capabilities have potential application to cognitive systems, our research is exploiting language models as a source of task knowledge for cognitive agents, that is, agents realized via a cognitive architecture. We identify challenges and opportunities for using language models as an external knowledge source for cognitive systems and possible ways to improve the effectiveness of knowledge extraction by integrating extraction with cognitive architecture capabilities, highlighting with examples from our recent work in this area.

  We introduce the Experiential Learning (ExpeL) agent to allow learning from agent experiences without requiring parametric updates. Our agent autonomously gathers experiences and extracts knowledge using natural language from a collection of training tasks. At inference, the agent recalls its extracted insights and past experiences to make informed decisions.

  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 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.
