Pre-training Language Models with Deterministic Factual Knowledge

Shaobo Li, Xiaoguang Li, Lifeng Shang +5

Previous works show that Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) can capture factual knowledge. However, some analyses reveal that PLMs fail to perform it robustly, e.g., being sensitiv…

How Pre-trained Language Models Capture Factual Knowledge? A Causal-Inspired Analysis

Shaobo Li, Xiaoguang Li, Lifeng Shang +6

Recently, there has been a trend to investigate the factual knowledge captured by Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs). Many works show the PLMs' ability to fill in the missing factu…
