- Symbolic knowledge graphs (KGs) have been constructed either by expensive human crowdsourcing or with domain-specific complex information extraction pipelines.
- In this work, we aim at harvesting symbolic KGs from the LMs, a new framework for automatic KG construction empowered by the neural LMs' flexibility and scalability.
- Compared to prior works that often rely on large human annotated data or existing massive KGs, our approach requires only the minimal definition of relations as inputs, and hence is suitable for extracting knowledge of rich new relations not available before.
- As a result, we derive from diverse LMs a family of new KGs (e.g., BertNet and RoBERTaNet)
- contain a richer set of commonsense relations, including complex ones (e.g., "A is capable of but not good at B"), than the human-annotated KGs (e.g., ConceptNet).
- Besides, the resulting KGs also serve as a vehicle to interpret the respective source LMs, leading to new insights into the varying knowledge capability of different LMs.
We use python 3.8 and all the required packages can be installed by pip:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Our code runs on a single GTX 1080Ti GPU.
This step corresponds to paper Section 3.1.
python search_prompts.py --rel_set conceptnet
--rel_set: can be one of conceptnet/lama/human, as shown in the relation_info/ folder.
The prompt searching reads the relation definitions from "init_prompts" and "seed_ent_tuples" values from relation_info/{rel_set}.json and save the searched-out prompts into "prompts" values.
(Files in the relation_info/ folder have contained the results of this step.)
This step corresponds to paper Section 3.2.
python main.py --rel_set conceptnet --model_name roberta-large --n_ent_tuples 1000 --n_prompts 20
--rel_set: The set of relations, can be one ofconceptnet/lama/human, as shown in the relation_info/ folder.--model_name: The LM as the source of knowledge, can be one ofroberta-large/roberta-base/bert-large-cased/bert-base-cased/disdilbert-base-cased.--max_n_ent_tuples: Target size of knowledge tuples to search for every relation.--max_n_prompts: Number of prompts to be used in the searching of knowledge tuples.
The searched-out knowledge tuples will be saved into results/, e.g., results/conceptnet/1000tuples_top20prompts/roberta-large/.
This command can present results in a formatted manner:
python present_result.py --result_dir results/conceptnet/1000tuples_top20prompts/roberta-large/
The results will be saved into summary.txt in {result_dir}, e.g., results/conceptnet/1000tuples_top20prompts/roberta-large/summary.txt.
