Probing Relational Knowledge in Language Models via Word Analogies (2022.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing studies have focused on probing relational knowledge by filling the blanks in pre-defined prompts such as “The capital of France is —” but these are affected by the co-occurrence of target relation words and entities in the pre-training corpus.
Approach: They extend probing methodologies by using analogical proportions as a proxy to probe relational knowledge in transformer-based PLMs without directly presenting the desired relation.
Outcome: The proposed methods are extremely accurate at (1) and (2), but have room for improvement for (3).
