I2D2: Inductive Knowledge Distillation with NeuroLogic and Self-Imitation

Chandra Bhagavatula, Jena D. Hwang, Doug Downey +7

Commonsense capabilities of pre-trained language models dramatically improve with scale, leading many to believe that scale is the only winning recipe. But is it? Here, we investig…

Maieutic Prompting: Logically Consistent Reasoning with Recursive Explanations

Jaehun Jung, Lianhui Qin, Sean Welleck +4

Despite their impressive capabilities, large pre-trained language models (LMs) struggle with consistent reasoning; recently, prompting LMs to generate explanations that self-guide…

Diversifying Content Generation for Commonsense Reasoning with Mixture of Knowledge Graph Experts

Wenhao Yu, Chenguang Zhu, Lianhui Qin +3

Generative commonsense reasoning (GCR) in natural language is to reason about the commonsense while generating coherent text. Recent years have seen a surge of interest in improvin…

COLD Decoding: Energy-based Constrained Text Generation with Langevin Dynamics

Lianhui Qin, Sean Welleck, Daniel Khashabi +1

Many applications of text generation require incorporating different constraints to control the semantics or style of generated text. These constraints can be hard (e.g., ensuring…

NeuroLogic A*esque Decoding: Constrained Text Generation with Lookahead Heuristics

Ximing Lu, Sean Welleck, Peter West +9

The dominant paradigm for neural text generation is left-to-right decoding from autoregressive language models. Constrained or controllable generation under complex lexical constra…

Prompt Waywardness: The Curious Case of Discretized Interpretation of Continuous Prompts

Daniel Khashabi, Shane Lyu, Sewon Min +8

Fine-tuning continuous prompts for target tasks has recently emerged as a compact alternative to full model fine-tuning. Motivated by these promising results, we investigate the fe…

TIMEDIAL: Temporal Commonsense Reasoning in Dialog

Lianhui Qin, Aditya Gupta, Shyam Upadhyay +3

Everyday conversations require understanding everyday events, which in turn, requires understanding temporal commonsense concepts interwoven with those events. Despite recent progr…

Summarizing Text on Any Aspects: A Knowledge-Informed Weakly-Supervised Approach

Bowen Tan, Lianhui Qin, Eric P. Xing +1

Given a document and a target aspect (e.g., a topic of interest), aspect-based abstractive summarization attempts to generate a summary with respect to the aspect. Previous studies…

Back to the Future: Unsupervised Backprop-based Decoding for Counterfactual and Abductive Commonsense Reasoning

Lianhui Qin, Vered Shwartz, Peter West +5

Abductive and counterfactual reasoning, core abilities of everyday human cognition, require reasoning about what might have happened at time t, while conditioning on multiple conte…

TuringAdvice: A Generative and Dynamic Evaluation of Language Use

Rowan Zellers, Ari Holtzman, Elizabeth Clark +3

We propose TuringAdvice, a new challenge task and dataset for language understanding models. Given a written situation that a real person is currently facing, a model must generate…

Counterfactual Story Reasoning and Generation

Lianhui Qin, Antoine Bosselut, Ari Holtzman +3

Counterfactual reasoning requires predicting how alternative events, contrary to what actually happened, might have resulted in different outcomes. Despite being considered a neces…
