One Sentence Abstract
This paper explores the integration of external knowledge into state-of-the-art neural natural language inference models, resulting in improved performance on SNLI and MultiNLI datasets.
Simplified Abstract
Researchers are working on a tricky problem: helping computers understand and use human language. To do this, they use complex models based on artificial neural networks, which have shown great results so far. But, these models rely on a large amount of annotated data, which may not cover all the knowledge needed for this task.
In this study, the researchers want to explore how these models can use additional information from external sources to improve their performance. They create new models that incorporate this external knowledge and test their effectiveness using two popular datasets, SNLI and MultiNLI. The results show that the new models perform better than previous ones, reaching the best results achieved so far.
The main point of this research is to enhance the performance of computer models that understand and interpret human language by incorporating external knowledge. This new approach improves the accuracy and reliability of the models, which is important for advancing our understanding of how different countries work together in scientific collaborations. The researchers have developed a new tool that helps us see which countries work closely on science, and their work represents an important contribution to the field.
