Diversifying Commonsense Reasoning Generation on Knowledge Graph

Introduction

-- This is the pytorch implementation of our ACL 2022 paper "Diversifying Content Generation for Commonsense Reasoning with Mixture of Knowledge Graph Experts" [PDF]. In this paper, we propose MoKGE, a novel method that diversifies the generative commonsense reasoning by a mixture of expert (MoE) strategy on knowledge graphs (KG). A set of knowledge experts seek diverse reasoning on KG to encourage various generation outputs.

Create an environment

transformers==3.3.1
torch==1.7.0
nltk==3.4.5
networkx==2.1
spacy==2.2.1
torch-scatter==2.0.5+${CUDA}
psutil==5.9.0

-- For torch-scatter, ${CUDA} should be replaced by either cu101 cu102 cu110 or cu111 depending on your PyTorch installation. For more information check here.

-- A docker environment could be downloaded from wenhaoyu97/divgen:5.0

We summarize some common environment installation problems and solutions here.

Preprocess the data

-- Extract English ConceptNet and build graph.

cd data
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/conceptnet/downloads/2018/edges/conceptnet-assertions-5.6.0.csv.gz
gzip -d conceptnet-assertions-5.6.0.csv.gz
cd ../preprocess
python extract_cpnet.py
python graph_construction.py

-- Preprocess multi-hop relational paths. Set $DATA to either anlg or eg.

export DATA=eg
python ground_concepts_simple.py $DATA
python find_neighbours.py $DATA
python filter_triple.py $DATA

Run Baseline

Run MoKGE

-- Independently parameterizing each expert may exacerbate overfitting since the number of parameters increases linearly with the number of experts. We follow the parameter sharing schema in Cho et al., (2019); Shen et al., (2019) to avoid this issue. This only requires a negligible increase in parameters over the baseline model that does not uses MoE. Speficially, Cho et al., (2019) added a unique expert embedding to each input token, while Shen et al., (2019) added an expert prefix token before the input text sequence.

-- MoKGE-embed (Cho et al.,) bash scripts/KGMixtureOfExpertCho.sh

-- MoKGE-prompt (shen et al.,) bash scripts/KGMixtureOfExpertShen.sh
