COPEN: Probing Conceptual Knowledge in Pre-trained Language Models (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing knowledge probing studies focus on evaluating factual knowledge of pre-trained language models (PLMs) but ignore conceptual knowledge. |
| Approach: | They evaluate conceptual knowledge of pre-trained language models by annotating 24k data instances covering 393 concepts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed tasks evaluate pre-trained language models' conceptual knowledge of entities, learn conceptual properties, and conceptualize entities in contexts. |
How Can Cross-lingual Knowledge Contribute Better to Fine-Grained Entity Typing? (2022.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Extensive experiments on multi-lingual datasets show that our method significantly outperforms multiple baselines and can robustly handle negative transfer. |
| Approach: | They propose to transfer semantic knowledge from rich-resourced languages to low-resource languages by using multilingual transfer learning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms baselines and can handle negative transfer. |
Attributed and Predictive Entity Embedding for Fine-Grained Entity Typing in Knowledge Bases (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for identifying semantic type of entities are incomplete even in large knowledge bases. |
| Approach: | They propose an attributed and predictive entity embedding method which can fully utilize various kinds of information comprehensively. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on two real DBpedia datasets show that the proposed method outperforms 8 state-of-the-art methods with 4.0% improvement in Mi-F1 and 5.2% improvement in Ma-F1. |
Fine-Grained Entity Typing via Hierarchical Multi Graph Convolutional Networks (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for inferring the fine-grained type of an entity from knowledge base are incomplete and lack type information. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel Deep Learning architecture to infer the fine-grained type of an entity from a knowledge base. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method significantly outperforms four state-of-the-art methods on two large-scale datasets. |

Zijun Yao, Yuanyong Chen, Xin Lv, Shulin Cao, Amy Xin, Jifan Yu, Hailong Jin, Jianjun Xu, Peng Zhang, Lei Hou, Juanzi Li
| Challenge: | Existing knowledge base question answering systems that parse natural language questions into knowledge oriented program language (KoPL) . |
| Approach: | They propose a knowledge base question answering system that integrates human into the loop to edit and debug queries. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can debug and edit knowledge base questions on a million-entity-level . it provides auto-completion for its knowledge base schema and user interaction can fix a large portion of wrong KoPL programs to acquire the correct answer. |
Learn to Not Link: Exploring NIL Prediction in Entity Linking (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Entity linking models have been successful in capturing semantic features, but the NIL prediction problem has not been addressed. |
| Approach: | They propose an entity linking dataset that categorizes mentions linking to NIL into Missing Entity and Non-Entity Phrases. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset categorizes mentions linking to NIL into Missing Entity and Non-Entity Phrase categories and ensures the presence of mentions by human annotation and entity masking. |
