Do Children Texts Hold The Key To Commonsense Knowledge? (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to compiling commonsense knowledge (CSK) struggle with reporting bias, i.e., frequency in text sources is not a good proxy for relevance or truth. |
| Approach: | They propose that children's texts make fewer assumptions on the reader's knowledge and therefore spell out commonsense more explicitly. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach can be leveraged in language-model-based commonsense knowledge extraction settings, where task-unspecific fine-tuning on small amounts of children texts yields significant improvements. |
