Coalescing Global and Local Information for Procedural Text Understanding

COLING 2022main

Procedural text understanding is a challenging language reasoning task that requires models to track entity states across the development of a narrative. We identify three core aspects required for modeling this task, namely the local and global view of the inputs, as well as the global view of outp…

Exploring Strategies for Generalizable Commonsense Reasoning with Pre-trained Models

EMNLP 2021main

Commonsense reasoning benchmarks have been largely solved by fine-tuning language models. The downside is that fine-tuning may cause models to overfit to task-specific data and thereby forget their knowledge gained during pre-training. Recent works only propose lightweight model updates as models ma…

Knowledge-driven Data Construction for Zero-shot Evaluation in Commonsense Question Answering

AAAI 2021technical

Recent developments in pre-trained neural language modeling have led to leaps in accuracy on common-sense question-answering benchmarks. However, there is increasing concern that models overfit to specific tasks, without learning to utilize external knowledge or perform general semantic reasoning.…
