Could you give me a hint? Generating inference graphs for defeasible reasoning
Defeasible reasoning is the mode of reasoning where conclusions can be overturned by taking into account new evidence. A commonly used method in cognitive science and logic literature is to handcraft argumentation supporting inference graphs. While humans find inference graphs very useful for reasoning, constructing them at scale is difficult. In this paper, we automatically generate such inference graphs through transfer learning from another NLP task that shares the kind of reasoning that inference graphs support. Through automated metrics and human evaluation, we find that our method generates meaningful graphs for the defeasible inference task. Human accuracy on this task improves by 20% by consulting the generated graphs. Our findings open up exciting new research avenues for cases where machine reasoning can help human reasoning. (A dataset of 230,000 influence graphs for each defeasible query is located at: https://tinyurl.com/defeasiblegraphs.)

Can Language Models Take A Hint? Prompting for Controllable Contextualized Commonsense Inference
Generating commonsense assertions within a given story context remains a difficult task for modern language models. Previous research has addressed this problem by aligning commonsense inferences with stories and trainin…
Data AugmentationText GenerationAdversarial Transformer Language Models for Contextual Commonsense Inference
Contextualized or discourse aware commonsense inference is the task of generating coherent commonsense assertions (i.e., facts) from a given story, and a particular sentence from that story. Some problems with the task a…

Generating commonsense assertions, given a certain story context, is a tough challenge even for modern language models. One of the reasons for this may be that the model has to "guess" what topic or entity in a story to …
