Challenge: Social Commonsense Reasoning requires understanding of text, knowledge about social events and their pragmatic implications, as well as commonsense reasoning skills.
Approach: They propose a multi-head knowledge attention model that encodes semi-structured commonsense inference rules and learns to incorporate them in a transformer-based reasoning cell.
Outcome: The proposed model improves performance on two reasoning tasks that require different reasoning skills.
