Challenge: Large pre-trained language models retain implicit knowledge within their parameters, but are susceptible to memorizing the pretraining corpora rather than capturing the knowledge within them.
Approach: They propose to inject entity-related knowledge into encoder-decoder PLMs via a generative knowledge infilling objective through continued pre-training.
Outcome: The proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art models on general NLU and NLG tasks while maintaining their original performance.
