Unsupervised Deep Structured Semantic Models for Commonsense Reasoning (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for commonsense reasoning rely on human-crafted features and knowledge bases, but unsupervised learning is not feasible due to the lack of labeled training data or comprehensive knowledge bases. |
