Medium Difficulty Summary: This paper proposes ConstraintChecker, a plugin that enhances the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLM) in Commonsense Knowledge Base (CSKB) reasoning tasks. The problem addressed is the difficulty of LLMs to acquire explicit relational constraints from in-context exemplars due to their lack of symbolic reasoning capabilities. To overcome this limitation, ConstraintChecker employs a rule-based module to generate constraints and a zero-shot learning module to check if new knowledge instances satisfy these constraints. By integrating the constraint-checking result with the output of the main prompting technique, ConstraintChecker demonstrates consistent improvements over various prompting methods on CSKB Reasoning benchmarks. This innovation has significant implications for acquiring new commonsense knowledge based on reference knowledge in original CSKBs and external prior knowledge.

Low Difficulty Summary: Imagine trying to teach a computer how to learn from experience and common sense, like we do every day. Currently, computers struggle with this task because they can’t easily understand the rules that connect different ideas together. To solve this problem, researchers developed ConstraintChecker, a tool that helps computers generate these rules and check if new information follows them. By using this tool, computers can learn more effectively from experience and common sense, making it easier to acquire new knowledge. The results of experiments with ConstraintChecker show that it improves the performance of computers in tasks like this.
