| Challenge: | Recent work has shown impressive progress in comprehending procedural text, but their predictions can be inconsistent or highly improbable. |
| Approach: | They propose to incorporate global constraints and bias reading with corpora-based preferences to improve the predicted effects of actions in a paragraph. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model significantly outperforms earlier models on a benchmark dataset for procedural text comprehension (+8% relative gain) it avoids nonsensical predictions that earlier models make, and it is more robust than previous models. |
