• Authors: Quyet V. Do, Junze Li, Tung-Duong Vuong, Zhaowei Wang, Yangqiu Song, Xiaojuan Ma,
• Abstract summary: We survey existing definitions of commonsense knowledge, ground into the three frameworks for defining concepts, and consolidate them into a unified definition of commonsense knowledge. We then use the consolidated definition for annotations and experiments on the CommonsenseQA and CommonsenseQA 2.0 datasets. Our study shows that there exists a large portion of non-commonsense-knowledge instances in the two datasets, and a large performance gap on these two subsets.

• Abstract: Commonsense datasets have been well developed in Natural Language Processing, mainly through crowdsource human annotation. However, there are debates on the genuineness of commonsense reasoning benchmarks. In specific, a significant portion of instances in some commonsense benchmarks do not concern commonsense knowledge. That problem would undermine the measurement of the true commonsense reasoning ability of evaluated models. It is also suggested that the problem originated from a blurry concept of commonsense knowledge, as distinguished from other types of knowledge. To demystify all of the above claims, in this study, we survey existing definitions of commonsense knowledge, ground into the three frameworks for defining concepts, and consolidate them into a multi-framework unified definition of commonsense knowledge (so-called consolidated definition). We then use the consolidated definition for annotations and experiments on the CommonsenseQA and CommonsenseQA 2.0 datasets to examine the above claims. Our study shows that there exists a large portion of non-commonsense-knowledge instances in the two datasets, and a large performance gap on these two subsets where Large Language Models (LLMs) perform worse on commonsense-knowledge instances.

  We argue that due to the large scale of commonsense knowledge, it is infeasible to annotate a large enough training set for each task to cover all commonsense for learning. We focus on investigating models' commonsense inference capabilities from two perspectives. We name the benchmark as Commonsense Inference with Knowledge-in-the-loop Question Answering (CIKQA)

  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.
