Reasoning about Actions and State Changes by Injecting Commonsense Knowledge
2018
Proceedings of the 2018 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing
., a paragraph describing photosynthesis, requires modeling actions and the state changes they produce, so that questions about entities at different timepoints can be answered. ...
In this paper, we show how the predicted effects of actions in the context of a paragraph can be improved in two ways: (1) by incorporating global, commonsense constraints (e.g., a non-existent entity ...

Commonsense Knowledge Reasoning and Generation with Pre-trained Language Models: A Survey
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
This paper presents a survey of these tasks, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of state-of-the-art pre-trained models for commonsense reasoning and generation as revealed by these tasks, and reflects ...
While commonsense knowledge acquisition and reasoning has traditionally been a core research topic in the knowledge representation and reasoning community, recent years have seen a surge of interest in ...
Predicting object states after an action has been taken drastically improves a PLM's ability to make correct inferences about object states. ...

EventNet: Inferring Temporal Relations Between Commonsense Events
[chapter]
2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
It comprises 10,000 nodes and 30,000 temporal links mined from the Openmind Commonsense Knowledge Base. ...
The temporal relation might be one of cause and effect, of action/goal or prerequisite relations, or simply that they tend to follow each other in a commonly occurring "script". ...
We believe we have shown that merely by generating a set of plausible possibilities for event occurrence, and using Commonsense reasoning, application context and user interaction to choose from those ...

Knowledge-Aware Procedural Text Understanding with Multi-Stage Training
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Two challenges, difficulty of commonsense reasoning and data insufficiency, still remain unsolved. ...
Specifically, we retrieve informative knowledge triples from ConceptNet and perform knowledge-aware reasoning while tracking the entities. ...
Besides, entities usually undergo implicit state changes and commonsense knowledge is often required in reasoning. ...

Understanding in Artificial Intelligence
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
To answer these questions, we have analysed existing benchmarks and their understanding capabilities, defined by a set of understanding capabilities, and current research streams. ...
A question remains of how much understanding is leveraged by these methods and how appropriate are the current benchmarks to measure understanding capabilities. ...
This is an important task because human-human communications often describe the expected change of state after an action, and the actions to achieve the change are not detailed. ...

In this work, we propose a graph-based approach, where a heterogeneous graph is automatically built with factual knowledge of the context, temporal knowledge of the past states, and logical knowledge that ...
combines human-curated knowledge bases and rule bases. ...
Specifically, a graph conveys three kinds of knowledge, including factual knowledge about the context which is obtained by information extraction, temporal knowledge about the past states of participants ...

Logic meets Probability: Towards Explainable AI Systems for Uncertain Worlds
2017
Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Formal languages allow their internal properties to be robustly scrutinized, can be augmented by adding new knowledge, and are amenable to abstractions, all of which are vital to the design of intelligent ...
Logical AI is concerned with formal languages to represent and reason with qualitative specifications; statistical AI is concerned with learning quantitative specifications from data. ...
Nonetheless, given queries about outcomes after actions, as needed for automated planning, we have shown that actions can be either "compiled" away, or "injected" to the current state [Belle and Levesque ...
