Rule Learning as Machine Translation using the Atomic Knowledge Bank
Kristoffer Æsøy, Ana Ozaki
Machine learning models, and in particular language models, are being applied to various tasks that require reasoning. While such models are good at capturing patterns their ability to reason in a trustable and controlled manner is frequently questioned. On the other hand, logic-based rule systems allow for controlled inspection and already established verification methods. However it is well-known that creating such systems manually is time-consuming and prone to errors. We explore the capability of transformers to translate sentences expressing rules in natural language into logical rules. We see reasoners as the most reliable tools for performing logical reasoning and focus on translating language into the format expected by such tools. We perform experiments using the DKET dataset from the literature and create a dataset for language to logic translation based on the Atomic knowledge bank.
