  • Publication number: 20250190469
    Abstract: There is included a method and apparatus comprising computer code for instance-wise adaptive knowledge injection in a pre-trained language model (PTLM) including determining a necessity of external knowledge in a plurality of queries of a first dataset based on a likelihood that a respective query is solved by internal knowledge of a target model. Then, the one or more queries determined to need external knowledge may be augmented with pieces of external knowledge. A combined dataset may be generated by combining the first dataset and the one or more augmented queries, and the combined dataset may be applied to the target model.

  • Patent number: 12248753
    Abstract: There is included a method and apparatus comprising computer code configured to cause a processor or processors to perform generating one or more aligned inventories, wherein the one or more aligned inventories are generated using one or more word sense inventories, obtaining a word in a context sentence, determining one or more semantic equivalence scores indicating semantic similarity between the word in the context sentence and each of one or more associated glosses in the one or more aligned inventories using a semantic equivalence recognizer model, and predicting a correct sense of the word in the context sentence based on the determined one or more semantic equivalence scores.

  • Publication number: 20240211694
    Abstract: A method including: receiving an input comprising natural language texts; selecting, via a knowledge selector, one of a plurality of knowledge categories from an external memory based on a context of the input; retrieving one or more helpful knowledge pieces from the selected knowledge category; augmenting the input using the one or more helpful knowledge pieces; feeding the augmented input into a text-to-text model; and generating an output answer based on the text-to-text model.
