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.
