PathReasoner: Explainable reasoning paths for commonsense question answering

作者:

Highlights:

• A reasonable and explainable framework is proposed to explicitly incorporate external reasoning paths with structured information to explain and facilitate commonsense QA.

• We use a Hierarchical Path Learner including an intra-path encoder and an inter-path encoder to reason the path over questions.

• The experiments on two typical commonsense QA datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed PathReasoner.
