Compositional Generalization with Grounded Language Models
Grounded language models use external sources of information, such as knowledge graphs, to meet some of the general challenges associated with pre-training. By extending previous work on compositional generalization in semantic parsing, we allow for a controlled evaluation of the degree to which these models learn and generalize from patterns in knowledge graphs. We develop a procedure for generating natural language questions paired with knowledge graphs that targets different aspects of compositionality and further avoids grounding the language models in information already encoded implicitly in their weights. We evaluate existing methods for combining language models with knowledge graphs and find them to struggle with generalization to sequences of unseen lengths and to novel combinations of seen base components. While our experimental results provide some insight into the expressive power of these models, we hope our work and released datasets motivate future research on how to better combine language models with structured knowledge representations.

A Benchmark for Systematic Generalization in Grounded Language Understanding
Humans easily interpret expressions that describe unfamiliar situations composed from familiar parts ("greet the pink brontosaurus by the ferris wheel"). Modern neural networks, by contrast, struggle to interpret novel c…
Systematic GeneralizationRecursive Decoding: A Situated Cognition Approach to Compositional Generation in Grounded Language Understanding
Compositional generalization is a troubling blind spot for neural language models. Recent efforts have presented techniques for improving a model's ability to encode novel combinations of known inputs, but less work has …
DecoderWhen Can Transformers Ground and Compose: Insights from Compositional Generalization Benchmarks
Humans can reason compositionally whilst grounding language utterances to the real world. Recent benchmarks like ReaSCAN use navigation tasks grounded in a grid world to assess whether neural models exhibit similar capab…
Compositional Generalization (AVG)COVR: A test-bed for Visually Grounded Compositional Generalization with real images
While interest in models that generalize at test time to new compositions has risen in recent years, benchmarks in the visually-grounded domain have thus far been restricted to synthetic images. In this work, we propose …
Compositional Networks Enable Systematic Generalization for Grounded Language Understanding
Humans are remarkably flexible when understanding new sentences that include combinations of concepts they have never encountered before. Recent work has shown that while deep networks can mimic some human language abili…
