| Challenge: | Recent work shows large language models can generate useful rationales for commonsense question answering (CQA) however, the cost of deployment and further tuning is relatively expensive for the large models. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that leverages both knowledge graphs and large language models to synthesize rationale-augmented CQA data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can generate useful rationales on unseen CQA benchmarks. |
